Main Idea
Key concepts include:
• interactions within and among populations including carrying capacities, limiting factors, and growth curves;

Population Dynamics
Population: all the individuals of a species that live together in an area
Demography: the statistical study of populations, make predictions about how a population will change

Population Dynamics
Three Key Features of Populations
•Size
•Density
•Dispersion
• (clumped, even/uniform, random)

Three Key Features of Populations
1. Size: number of individuals in an area
![Page 6: Population in Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568139bc550346895da15fd0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Growth Rate: Birth Rate (natality) - Death Rate (mortality)
How many individuals are born vs. how many die

Three Key Features of Populations
2. Density: measurement of population per unit area or unit volume
Pop. Density = # of individuals ÷ unit of space S
![Page 12: Population in Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568139bc550346895da15fd0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

1. Immigration- movement of individuals into a population
2. Emigration- movement of individuals out of a population
4 Factors that affect density
![Page 14: Population in Ecology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568139bc550346895da15fd0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
4 Factors that affect density
3. Density-dependent factors- Biotic factors in the environment that have an increasing effect as population size increases
Ex. disease
competition
parasites

4. Density-independent factors- Abiotic factors in the environment that affect populations regardless of their density
Ex. temperature
storms
habitat destruction
drought

Factors That Affect Future Population Growth

Three Key Features of Populations
3. Dispersion:describes their spacing relative to each other
• clumped
• even or uniform
• random

Other factors that affect population growth
Limiting factor- any biotic or abiotic factor that restricts the existence of organisms in a specific environment. EX.- Amount of water
Amount of foodTemperature

Carrying Capacity- the maximum population size that can be supported by the available resources
There can only be as many organisms as the environmental resources can support
Other factors that affect population growth

2 Life History Patterns
1. R Strategists short life span small body size reproduce quickly have many young little parental care Ex: cockroaches,
weeds, bacteria

2 Life History Patterns
2. K Strategists long life span large body size reproduce slowly have few young provides parental
care Ex: humans,
elephants
