There are two possible senses—each person paying their own expenses, or the entire bill being split (divided evenly) between all participants. In strict usage, "Going
Population dynamics population growth rate is negative. The logistic models also show density dependence, meaning the per capita population growth rates decline as the population density increases. In the wild, you can't get these patterns to emerge without simplification. Negative density dependence allows for a population that overshoots the carrying capacity to decrease back to the carrying capacity, "K". According to r/K selection theory organisms may be specialised for rapid growth, or stability closer to carrying capacity. This equation uses "r" instead of "λ" because per capita growth rate is zero when "r" = 0. As r gets very high, there are
