In this study‚ we created simulations of population trends under various values of parameters. Such parameters include survival rates‚ natality‚ and reproductive rates. Outlined in this chart is the population trend for the panthers in a 25 years time frame under uniform parameters. In other words‚ all the parameters were set to be their minimum potential‚ maximum potential‚ or baseline. According to this chart‚ the population trend when all the parameters were set to the mx will result in an exponential
