Chооse ONE оf the following essаy questions аnd аnswer in the space provided. The opening vignette in Chapter 3 – Evolution, Biodiversity, and Population growth, describes the islands of Hawaii as “the cradle of evolution”. Explain why evolution is so observable on the islands and an example of speciation via natural selection. In doing so, be sure to discuss the significance of geographic isolation, allopatric speciation, and the example discussed in the book. According to information from Chapter 1, our species is causing an “overshoot of biocapacity”. Explain what an overshoot is, an example of why we are in an overshoot, and what this means about our species sustainability. Using the figure below as a guide, explain the main differences between exponential growth and logistic growth. A good way to do this would be to define the growth properties of each model, including any limiting factors. Be sure to explain the concept of carrying capacity. Picture1.png
