� Three types of factors:
�Symbiosis – the interaction between
members of two different species that live
together in a close association.
�Predation –when one organism (the predator)
consumes another organism (its prey) for
food.
�Competition –when two or more organisms
fight for the same resource.

� Five abiotic characteristics are:� Water
� Oxygen
� Light
� Nutrients
� Soil

� Intraspecific Competition: members of the same species compete for the same resource in an ecosystem (e.g. food, light, nutrients, space).
� Interspecific Competition: individuals of different species compete for the same resource in an ecosystem (e.g. food or living space).

Is there competition among plants?
� Examples?

Populations
� Population: a group of organisms of 1 species that lives in the same place, at the same time, and can successfully reproduce.

World Population (Humans)
http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/
� When does a population increase?
� When does a population decrease?
![Page 8: Day 5 Notes - Populations & Interactions](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051204/627842ae244f9f7fe510f1ce/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Exponential growth
![Page 9: Day 5 Notes - Populations & Interactions](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051204/627842ae244f9f7fe510f1ce/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Exponential growth
� Exponential growth: accelerating population growth
� “J”-shaped graph
� Usually only occurs in nature for a short time under certain conditions
� Organism finds new habitat with lots of resources
� When other pressures are removed (i.e. hunting ban)
�Can’t last for long – why?
![Page 10: Day 5 Notes - Populations & Interactions](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051204/627842ae244f9f7fe510f1ce/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Population crash
� If the growth is too rapid, resources are rapidly used up and a population crash can occur
![Page 11: Day 5 Notes - Populations & Interactions](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051204/627842ae244f9f7fe510f1ce/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
� A limiting factor limits the growth, distribution or amount of a population in an ecosystem.
� As a population increases in size, each individual has access to few resources, limiting the growth of the population.
![Page 12: Day 5 Notes - Populations & Interactions](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051204/627842ae244f9f7fe510f1ce/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. Density-independent factors
�Any factor in the environment that does not
depend on the number of members in a
population per unit area (can occur no matter
the population size)
� Usually abiotic factors: Natural phenomena, weather, fires, pollution, etc.
![Page 13: Day 5 Notes - Populations & Interactions](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051204/627842ae244f9f7fe510f1ce/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2. Density-dependent Factors
�Any factor in the environment that depends on
the number of members in a population per
unit area. (only see these when population is
large)
� Usually biotic factors: disease, parasites, predation, and competition
![Page 14: Day 5 Notes - Populations & Interactions](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051204/627842ae244f9f7fe510f1ce/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Carrying Capacity
� Carrying capacity: The largest population of a species that can be supported by an environment
� Controlled by:
� Abiotic factors
� Biotic factors (predation, competition)
� Limiting factors
![Page 15: Day 5 Notes - Populations & Interactions](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051204/627842ae244f9f7fe510f1ce/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Graphing Carrying Capacity
� Population (Y axis) vs. Year/Time (X axis)
� If the line on the graph is:
�Going up: population is increasing
�Going down: population is decreasing
�Horizontal: population is at its carrying
capacity for that species in that ecosystem
![Page 16: Day 5 Notes - Populations & Interactions](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051204/627842ae244f9f7fe510f1ce/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Example
� During which months is the hare population increasing?
� What is the carrying capacity of hares in Sackville?
![Page 17: Day 5 Notes - Populations & Interactions](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051204/627842ae244f9f7fe510f1ce/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
When the population is at carrying capacity (straight line), what is happening to the population?
