Question

logistic growth occurs whenever a populations size approaches its carrying capacity and is limited by resource availability. which of these populations is most likely experiencing logistic growth? a population of frogs that is declining due to an introduced disease a population of mosquitoes that grows rapidly during the summer and then sharply declines by the winter a stand of maple trees in a dense forest that compete for sunlight

Explanation:

Logistic growth occurs when a population nears its carrying - capacity and is limited by resources. The maple trees in a dense forest competing for sunlight are limited by a resource (sunlight) and their growth is likely affected as they approach the carrying - capacity of the forest space. The frog population is declining due to disease, not limited by resource availability in the context of logistic growth. The mosquito population has seasonal changes not related to approaching a carrying - capacity limited by resources.

Answer:

a stand of maple trees in a dense forest that compete for sunlight
