3 Population ecology is the study of populations in relation to their environment, including environmental influences on density and distribution, age structure, and population size

4 Population Dynamics Population: All the individuals of a species that live together in an area Demography: The statistical study of populations, allows predictions to be made about how a population will change

5 Three Key Features of Populations Size: number of individuals in an area

6 Three Key Features of Populations Growth Rate: Birth Rate (natality) - Death Rate (mortality) How many individuals are born vs. how many die Birth rate (b) death rate (d) = rate of natural increase (r)

8 Density: measurement of population per unit area or unit volume Pop. Density = # of individuals ÷ unit of space Three Key Features of Populations

9 A population is a group of individuals of a single species living in the same general area Populations are described by their boundaries and size Population

10 Immigration Emigration Natality Mortality Population Factors That Affect Future Population Growth

11 Population Dispersion

12 Dispersion: describes the spacing of organisms relative to each other Clumped Uniform Random Three Key Features of Populations

13 Population density = number of individuals in a given area or volume Count all the individuals in a population Estimate by sampling Mark-Recapture Method How Are Populations Measured?

14 Idealized models describe two kinds of population growth: 1.Exponential Growth 2. Logistic Growth How Do Populations Grow?

15 Human Population Growth J curve growth Grows at a rate of about 80 million yearly r =1.3% Why doesnt environmental resistance take effect? Altering their environment Technological advances The cultural revolution The agricultural revolution The industrial-medical revolution

16 Doubled three times in the last three centuries About 6.1 billion and may reach 9.3 billion by the year 2050 Improved health and technology have lowered death rates The Human Population
