Population
• A population is a group of individuals of a single species that simultaneously occupy the same general area.
• Two characteristics that affect populations are ________ and _______
![Page 14: Week 1 Ecology Chapters 52-54. Dispatch—Make 3 observations on the distribution of biomes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be75a550346b4588b6124/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Population characteristics
Density~ # of individuals per unit of area
• •counts •sample size estimate
• •indirect indicators • •mark-recapture
Dispersion~ pattern of spacing •random~ unpredictable,
patternless spacing (a)
•clumped~ patchy aggregation (b) •uniform~ even spacing (c)

Density is the result of a dynamic interplay
– Between processes that add individuals to a population and those that remove individuals from it
![Page 16: Week 1 Ecology Chapters 52-54. Dispatch—Make 3 observations on the distribution of biomes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be75a550346b4588b6124/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Births and immigration add individuals to a population.

PopuIationsize
Emigration

Dispatch—Get a textbook 1) Draw an exponential growth curve? What
species exhibit this growth?2) What about the environment would make an r
species exhibit exponential growth? 3) Describe what a population’s carry capacity is
and what it means to the population?4) Compare and contrast density- dependent to
density-independent factors?Take our calendar and tell your tablemates 3

Population Growth Models
• Exponential model (blue) • idealized population in an unlimited environment (J-curve); r-selected species (r=per capita growth rate)
• Logistic model (red) •carrying capacity (K): maximum population size that a particular environment can support (S-curve); K-selected species

Demography: factors that affect growth & decline of populations
• Birthrate (natality, fecundity)~ # of offspring produced
• Death rate (mortality)
• Age structure~ relative number of individuals of each age
• Survivorship curve~ plot of numbers still alive at each age

Population life history “strategies”
• r-selected (opportunistic)
• Short maturation & lifespan• Many (small) offspring; usually 1
(early) reproduction; no parental care
• High death rate
• Ex:________
• K-selected (equilibrial)
• Long maturation & lifespan• Few (large) offspring; usually
several (late) reproductions; extensive parental care
• Low death rate
• Ex:____________

Community Ecology
QUESTIONS:
1) What is a community?
2) Who are the members of this community?
3) What is a food chain?
![Page 27: Week 1 Ecology Chapters 52-54. Dispatch—Make 3 observations on the distribution of biomes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be75a550346b4588b6124/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Differences in Community structure
Community~ an assemblage of populations living close enough together for potential interaction. Many different ______.
• Communities differ dramatically in their species richness (number of species) & relative abundance of different species
![Page 28: Week 1 Ecology Chapters 52-54. Dispatch—Make 3 observations on the distribution of biomes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be75a550346b4588b6124/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
How can we account for the species found together as members of a
community?2 Hypotheses:
•Individualistic~ all the species just happened to live in the same area b/c they all had similar abiotic requirements. Example they all needed same temperature, rainfall, soil type which is why they live in the same habitat.
•Interactive~ all the species are locked into association by mandatory biotic interactions. Species are found together b/c they have formed relationships +, - and o.
