Population and Migration

 When an environment has reached its carrying capacity for a certain population, which of the following is true? 

•  Growth and immigration rate is equal to death and emigration rate. 
•  Growth and immigration rate is greater than death and emigration rate. 
• Growth and immigration rate is less than death and emigration rate. 
• Growth rate is exponential. 

 On remote islands, immigration and emigration usually do not have a large effect on population sizes. A bird population on a remote island remains at a relatively constant size year after year. Which of the following most likely describes the birthrate and the death rate for this population? 

•  Birthrate and death rate are both zero 
•  Birthrate and death rate are close to equal. 
• Birthrate is significantly less than death rate. 
• Birthrate is significantly greater than death rate.
