“22.5” for a population with logistic growth and r = 0.15/week in an environment with k = 400 shows max growth rate of. This relationship follows from the ecological mechanism represented by the terms in the item, not merely from an association between their names. Mechanistic support comes from showing how resource limitation, enemies, mate availability, or physiological stress changes demographic performance. A descriptive association alone does not establish regulation or causation. The remaining alternatives—“15”, “30”, “60”—refer to different states, processes, or scales and therefore do
