In 2014, the population may stabilize itself. The area should hit
its carrying capacity and there will only be enough resources for
a certain number of individuals.
(d) Invasive species are successful in colonizing in new places
because they have no predators. They may have an abundant
food source and not much competition for it. They have strong
successes with finding mates and reproducing more individuals
to join their thriving community.

During Phase A, the population is going through exponential
growth. Their numbers are rapidly rising. They could be successful
in a new habitat with no predators or lots of food.
(b)
Phase B has fluctuations because it is now beginning to reach
its carrying capacity. When the population goes over, it is affected
by the repercussions of crowdedness or lack of food left. It may
also suffer from natural disasters including fire, flood, etc.

R-traits are when an animal gives birth to many offspring but
many die soon after birth. K-traits are when an animal gives birth
to a few offspring but they survive a long life. R traits appear to be
less stable in the overall population due its lack to defend of
predators or lack of strength to find food. K-traits are much more
stable and can provide for themselves for a longer amount of
time.
