Practical 2

Population growth

This will be our first LAN prac for marks and through it we will explore how single populations grow (or shrink) through time under resource free (exponential growth) and resource limiting (logistic growth) scenarios.

For you to fully understand how to undertake this practical you will need to have gone through the RStudio, R and RStudio Shiny App tutorials which are available on this course website. Even though we have gone through much of content in class, I strongly advise reading through these tutorials and redo the examples a few times to better understand each component we will work through.
