For populations growing under the logistic growth model with delayed density dependence, which of the following combinations of parameter values is most likely to lead to damped oscillations?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Damped oscillations in populations under the logistic growth model with delayed density dependence are more likely when the intrinsic growth rate (r) is relatively high, the carrying capacity (K) is large, and the delay (τ) is moderate to high. Option C, with r = 0.5, K = 200, and τ = 3, combines a higher growth rate with a significant delay and a large carrying capacity, conditions that favor the emergence of damped oscillations.
