Introduction & Review
Population Group consisting of
members of the same species that live together in a prescribed area at the same time.
Population Ecology The study of numbers of
individuals of a particular species, at a given time and location, and the interactions of that population with other populations and the environment
Population dynamics Study of changes in
populations

IMPORTANT FEATURES OF POPULATIONS
Population Ecology

Population Density
Population Density This is how population size is expressed The number of individuals of a species per unit space

Dispersion
Dispersion Describes the spacing
of individuals and there are three types.

Types of Dispersion
Uniform Dispersion Individuals are evenly distributed
Clumped (Aggregated) Dispersion Most common type Individuals are concentrated in specific parts of the habitat
Patchiness Occurs as a result of distribution of resources or by
asexual reproductionRandom dispersion
Occurs when individuals of a population are spaced throughout an area in a manner that is unrelated to the presence of others
Least common; hardest to observe Results from a lack of interaction between individuals or a
homogenous environment

TYPES OF GROWTH RATES
Population Ecology
![Page 9: PACKET #31 CHAPTER #14 Population Ecology. Introduction & Review Population Group consisting of members of the same species that live together in a.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f0c5503460f94c1fd52/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Exponential Growth
Exponential Growth Population growth is at
a rapid pace Humans have
exhibited this growth pattern for centuries—but can it last?
![Page 10: PACKET #31 CHAPTER #14 Population Ecology. Introduction & Review Population Group consisting of members of the same species that live together in a.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f0c5503460f94c1fd52/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Exponential Growth & The Human Population II
Not all countries have the same growth rate Higher in developing
countries India South Asia Africa
Age structure of a country can be used to predict future population growth Shows the percentages of
population at different ages
A broader base to the age structure indicates a growing population while a narrower base indicates a stable or shrinking population.

Logistic Growth
Logistic Growth Exponential growth
with environmental resistance (carry capacity of the environment = K) incorporated into the equation
Exhibited by most natural populations.

FACTORS INFLUENCING POPULATION SIZE
Population Ecology

Dispersal
Dispersal Movement of
individuals among populations
Immigration Migration of
individuals into the population
Emigration Migration of
individuals out of the population

Density Dependent Factors II
PredationDisease
Increases when contact with toxic waste, produced by population itself, increases with population size.
Competition Intraspecific
Competition between members of the same species
Interspecific Competition between
members of different species

Density Independent Factors
Climatic factors Sunlight Rainfall Temperature
All have impacts no matter what the population size Climatic and seasonal factors, monsoon season for
example, can severely decrease populations

LIFE “HISTORY” TRAITS OF POPULATIONS
Population Ecology

Introduction
Life history traits, products of natural selection, are traits that affect an organism’s schedule of reproduction and survival. Birth Reproduction Death
![Page 18: PACKET #31 CHAPTER #14 Population Ecology. Introduction & Review Population Group consisting of members of the same species that live together in a.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f0c5503460f94c1fd52/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Semelparous vs. Iteroparous Species
Semelparous Species Expend their energy in
a single, immense reproductive effort Pacific salmon Agave
Iteroparous Species Exhibit repeated
reproductive cycles Most vertebrates Most shrubs Most trees

r Strategists
r strategists Have traits that
contribute to a high population growth rate. High r Small size Large numbers of
offspring May live in
unpredictable habitats Weeds Pests
• Roaches

K Strategists
K strategists Maximize the chance of
surviving in an environment where the number of individuals (N) is near the carrying capacity (K) of the environment. Population size near K Larger body size Long life span Late reproduction and
slow development Have fewer offspring May care for their young
