Fairy Shrimp San Diego fairy shrimp live in ponds that fill and dry many times during a year. While the ponds are dry, the fairy shrimp survive as cysts. The population is divided into three groups. Cysts that survive one dry period (1DP) are in group 1, cysts that survive two dry periods (2DP) are in group 2, and cysts that survive three or more dry periods (3DP) are in group 3. A Leslie diagram estimating the survivability and fecundity between dry periods is given below. 5 03 a) Find the Leslie matrix. b) Twenty cysts in group 1 are introduced into a pond How many cysts are expected in each of the three groups after a dry period? C) Estimate the population of the three groups after two dry periods. d) Estimate the population of the three groups after three dry periods.
