Practice Problem:
A typical female of the bubble gum maggot (Bubblicious blowhardi Meyer) lays 250 eggs. On
average, 32 of these eggs are infertile and 64 are killed by parasites. Of the survivors, 64 die as
larvae due to habitat destruction (gum is cleared away by the janitorial staff) and 87 die as pupae
because the gum gets too hard. Construct a life table for this species and calculate a value for
"R", the replacement rate (assume a 1:1 sex ratio). Is this population increasing, decreasing, or
remaining stable?

Berdasarkan nilai R yang menunjukan nilai 1,5 maka angka populasi meningkat.Jika situai
berlanjut dalam waktu yang lama,populasi akan tumbuh melampaui daya dukung lingkungan.
