Frage Antworten
limiting resourcec a resource the population cannot live without but occurs in lower quantities than the population needs (it limits the resource)
overshoot when the population becomes larger than the environment's carrying capacity
die-off rapid decline in population due to death
population growth rate the number of offspring an individual can produce in a given time period, minus the deaths of the individual or its offspring during the same period
intrinsic growth rate (r) max potential for growth of a population under (1) ideal conditions and (2) with unlimited resources
exponential vs. logistic growth model exponential: estimates pop's future size after a period of time, based on intrinsic growth rate and # of reproducing individuals in pop logistic: describes pop w/ growth that's initially exponential, but slows as it approaches carrying capacity
J-shaped curve vs. S-shaped curve J: curve of exponential growth model S: shape of logistic growth model
r-selected species -short life span -short time to maturity -many and small offspring -variable population ex: oysters
k-selected species -long life span -"good" parents -reproduce less times -large offspring -stable population ex: apes
type I survivorship curve high survival throughout most of life, but die in high numbers at old age ex: elephants (k-selected species)
type II survivorship curve relatively constant decline in survivorship throughout life ex: squirrels
type III survivorship curve low survivorship early in life, not many reach adulthood ex: mosquitos (r-selected species)
metapopulation spatially distinct populations that are connected by occasional movements of individuals between them
corridor strips of natural habitat that connect populations
predation interaction where one animal typically kills and consumes another anmal
parasitism interaction in which one organism lives on/in another organism parasitoid: lays eggs inside a host pathogen: causes disease in host
mutualism interaction between 2 species that increases the chances of survival or reproduction for both species
commensalism relationship where one species benefits an the other species is neither harmed nor helped (neutral)
competitive exclusion principle principle stating that 2 species competing for the same limiting resource cannot coexist
immigration vs. emigration immigrate: people move into a country/region emigrate: people move out of a country/region
crude birth rate (CBR) number of births per 1000 people per year
crude death rate (CDR) number of deaths per 1000 people per year
equations for: -global population growth rate -doubling time -national population growth rate global pop: (CBR - CDR) / 10 doubling time: 70 / growth rate national pop: [(CBR + imm) - (CDR + em)] / 10
