The black rhinoceros is a mammal found in Africa. Weighing in at up to 1,350 kg, these rhinos can live roughly 35 years. Gestation in the black rhino lasts for 15-16 months, with calves staying under the mother’s parental care for up to four years.

In 1976, the dominant finch on Daphne Major in the Galapagos Islands was the medium ground finch, with a population of 1,200. In 1977, a drought struck the island negatively affecting most of the vegetation. As a result, the population of medium ground finch dropped to 180 due to starvation. In 1983, however, a large amount of rainfall fell on the island creating optimal conditions for vegetation. The medium ground finch population increased to 1,100.

When birth rates and death rates are both high, the population grows slowly, if at all.
Death rates rise in the third stage of the demographic transition.
Human activities and natural events can have a large effect on populations, biodiversity and ecosystem processes. How does the growth of the human population into rural areas affect the
environmental quality of the native ecosystem?
Human population growth produces new resources that benefit the native ecosystems.
Human population growth in rural areas help organisms evolve in order to survive in
harsher urban environments.
Human population growth in rural areas creates additional waste that is put back into the
environment and lowers environmental quality.
Human population growth in rural areas creates additional living areas for humans to
populate, which would increase the value of the land.
This stage is characterized by: a low and declining death rate, rapidly decreasing birth rate, and a continued increase in the population.
Stage 1 (Pre-Industrial)
Stage 2 (Transitional)
Stage 3 (Industrial)
Stage 4 (Post Industrial)
A large increase in crop production in developing countries achieved by the use of fertilizers, pesticides, and high-yield crop varieties.
