POPULATION DYNAMICS
CHAPTER 9
![Page 2: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
MAJOR CHARACTERISTICS OF A POPULATION
• POPULATIONS ARE ALWAYS CHANGING:– SIZE– DENSITY– DISPERSION - clumped, uniform, random– AGE DISTRIBUTION
• THESE CHANGES ARE CALLED POPULATION DYNAMICS
![Page 3: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Clumped (elephants)
Uniform (creosote bush)
Random (dandelions)

Limits to Population growth
• NATALITY - BIRTH• MORTALITY - DEATH• IMMIGRATION - MOVEMENT IN• EMIGRATION - MOVEMENT OUT• POPULATION CHANGE =(BIRTH + IMMIGRATION - DEATH +
EMIGRATION)
![Page 5: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
ZERO POPULATION GROWTH (ZPG)
• WHEN THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS ADDED FROM BIRTHS AND IMMIGRATION EQUALS THE NUMBER LOST TO DEATHS AND EMIGRATION
![Page 6: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
BIOTIC POTENTIAL
• ALL THE FACTORS WHICH CAUSE A POPULATION TO INCREASE IN GROWTH
• INTRINSIC RATE OF INCREASE - (r) THE RATE AT WHICH A POPULATION WOULD GROW ON UNLIMITED RESOURCES
![Page 7: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
POPULATIONS WITH HIGH INTRINSIC RATE OF INCREASE
• REPRODUCE EARLY IN LIFE
• HAVE SHORT GENERATION TIMES
• CAN REPRODUCE MANY TIMES
• HAVE MANY OFFSPRING EACH TIME THEY REPRODUCE.– EXAMPLE – HOUSEFLY
.
![Page 8: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE
• ALL THE FACTORS THAT LIMIT THE GROWTH OF A POPULATION
• ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE + BIOTIC POTENTIAL DETERMINE CARRYING CAPACITY (K)– NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS OF A SPECIES
THE ENVIRONMENT CAN SUSTAIN INDEFINITELY
![Page 9: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MINIMUM VIABLE POPULATION (MVP)
• MINIMUM POPULATION SIZE• BELOW THIS
– INDIVIDUALS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND MATES
– MAY HAVE INTERBREEDING AND PRODUCE WEAK OFFSPRING
– GENETIC DIVERSITY MAY BE TOO LOW TO ENABLE ADAPTATION TO NEW ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.

EXPONENTIAL VS. LOGISTIC GROWTH
• EXPONENTIAL GROWTH STARTS OUT SLOWLY AND PROCEEDS FASTER AND FASTER– FORMS A J-SHAPED CURVE
• LOGISTIC GROWTH -INVOLVES EXPONENTIAL UNTIL POPULATION ENCOUNTERS ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE AND APPROACHES CARRYING CAPACITY.– THEN POPULATION FLUCTUATES– FORMS A SIGMOID OR S-SHAPED CURVE

WHEN POPULATIONS EXCEED CARRYING CAPACITY
• SOMETIMES OVERSHOOT• HAPPENS BECAUSE OF A REPRODUCTIVE
TIME LAG - PERIOD NEEDED FOR BIRTH RATES TO FALL AND DEATH RATES TO RISE
• HAVE A DIEBACK OR CRASH – UNLESS ORGANISMS CAN MOVE OF SWITCH
TO NEW RESOURCES– EASTER ISLAND AN EXAMPLE OF THIS

WHAT AFFECTS CARRYING CAPACITY?
• COMPETITION WITHIN AND BETWEEN SPECIES
• IMMIGRATION AND EMIGRATION• NATURAL AND HUMAN CAUSED
CATASTROPHIC EVENTS• SEASONAL FLUTUATION IN FOOD,
WATER, COVER, AND NESTING SITES.
![Page 16: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
EFFECTS OF POPULATION DENSITY
• DENSITY INDEPENDENT POPULATION CONTROLS– AFFECT A POPULATION REGARDLESS
OF POPULATION SIZE• FLOODS, HURRICANES, SEVERE
DROUGHT, UNSEASONABLE WEATHER, FIRE, HABITAT DESTRUCTION
![Page 17: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

• DENSITY DEPENDENT POPULATION CONTROLS
• HAVE A GREATER EFFECT AS POPULATION DENSITY INCREASES:– COMPETITION FOR RESOURCES,
PREDATION, PARASITISM, DISEASE• EXAMPLE: INFECTIOUS DISEASES
![Page 19: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
TYPES OF POPULATION FLUCTUATIONS
• STABLE - FLUCTUATES ABOVE AND BELOW CARRYING CAPACITY – TROPICAL RAINFOREST
• IRRUPTIVE-FAIRLY STABLE THAN EXPLODES– RACOONS
• IRREGULAR- NO SET PATTERN– SIMILAR TO CHAOS
• CYCLIC- NO REAL EXPLANATION – LEMMINGS
![Page 20: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

HOW PREDATORS CONTROL POPULATION SIZE
• PREDATOR - PREY CYCLES - POORLY UNDERSTOOD
• SHARP INCREASE IN NUMBERS FOLLOWED BY CRASHES– LYNX AND HARES IN ARCTIC
• TOP DOWN CONTROL HYPOTHESIS – LYNX CONTROL HARES AND LACK OF
HARES CONTROL LYNX POPULATION
![Page 22: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• BOTTOM UP CONTROL HYPOTHESIS– HARES EAT TOO MANY PLANTS THEIR
POPULATION DROPS THEN LYNX POPULATION DROPS ALSO.
• COULD BE A THREE WAY INTERACTION BETWEEN PLANTS, HARES, AND LYNXES.

REPRODUCTIVE PATTERNS• ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION- ALL
OFFSPRING ARE CLONES OF A SINGLE PARENT– BACTERIA
• SEXUAL REPRODUCTION -COMBINATION OF GAMETES FROM BOTH PARENTS– 97% OF ALL ORGANISMS REPRODUCE
SEXUALLY– GIVES GREATER GENETIC DIVERSITY IN
ORRSPRING
![Page 25: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
R-SELECTED SPECIES - GENERALISTS
• SPECIES REPRODUCE EARLY AND PUT MOST OF THEIR ENERGY INTO REPRODUCTION– HAVE MANY OFFSPRING EACH TIME THEY
REPRODUCE– REACH REPRODUCTIVE AGE EARLY– HAVE SHORT GENERATION TIMES– GIVE OFFSPRING LITTLE OR NO PARENTAL
CARE– ARE SHORT LIVED
![Page 26: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
K-SELECTED SPECIES - COMPETITORS
• PUT LITTLE ENERGY INTO REPRODUCTION
• TEND TO REPRODUCE LATE IN LIFE• ARE FAIRLY LARGE• MATURE SLOWLY• ARE CARED FOR BY ONE OR BOTH
PARENTS• MANY ARE PRONE TO EXTINCTION
![Page 27: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• K-selected species do better in ecosystems with fairly constant environmental conditions – Tend to do well in competitive conditions when
their population size is near carrying capacity (K)
• R-selected species thrive in ecosystems that experience disturbances
![Page 28: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
CONSERVATION BIOLOGY
• MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCE– INVESTIGATES HUMAN IMPACTS ON
BIODIVERSITY– DEVELOPS PRACTICAL APPROACHES TO
MAINTAINING BIODIVERSITY– VERY CONCERNED WITH ENDANGERED
SPECIES, WILDLIFE RESERVES, ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION, AND ECOLOGICAL ECONOMICS.

WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT
• DEALS MAINLY WITH GAME SPECIES
![Page 30: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
PRINCIPLES OF CONSERVATION BIOLOGY
• BIODIVERSITY IS NECESSARY FOR ALL LIFE ON EARTH
• HUMANS SHOULD NOT HARM OR HASTEN EXTINCTION OF WILDLIFE
• THE BEST WAY TO PROTECT BIODIVERSITY IS TO PROTECT ECOSYSTEMS.

BIOINFORMATICS �
• PROVIDES TOOLS FOR STORAGE AND ACCESS TO KEY BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION AND WITH BUILDING DATABASES THAT CONTAIN THE NEEDED BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION.
![Page 32: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
SURVIVORSHIP CURVES• SHOW THE NUMBER OF SURVIVORS OF
EACH AGE GROUP FOR A PARTICULAR SPECIES
• SELECT A COHORT• FOLLOW THEM THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFE
SPAN• SHOWS LIFE EXPECTANCY AND
PROBABILITY OF DEATH FOR INDIVIDUALS AT EACH AGE.

• THREE TYPES OF SURVIVORSHIP CURVES:– EARLY LOSS - typical for r-selected species
• Annual plants & bony fish• MANY DIE VERY EARLY IN LIFE
– LATE LOSS - K-selected species• Produce few offspring and care for them
– CONSTANT LOSS - intermediate reproductive patterns
![Page 35: POPULATION DYNAMICS · • immigration - movement in • emigration - movement out • population change = (birth + immigration - death + emigration) zero population growth (zpg)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb7be9d4ce4340f6c7bc291/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Humans effects on ecosystems• Fragmenting & degrading ecosystems• Simplifying natural ecosystems• Wasting or destroying earth’s net primary productivity• Strengthening some pest species, etc. by overusing
pesticides and antibiotics• Eliminating some predators• Introducing alien species• Overharvesting renewable resources• Interfering with biogeochemical cycles and energy flow
