Question 2. The current size of the cricket population is 5,000 individuals. Assume that the current conditions of parasitism do not change and, thus, r remains constant over time. Use your

point estimate for r = -0.05) and the model presented above to predict the amount of time it will take for the population size to decline below 50 individuals, which is the threshold for a "critically endangered" classification. Show how you arrived at your conclusion.
