Objective: What are the factors that affect population size?
Take the page and divide it into 6 equal boxes Number the boxes Notes: Populations
Geographic distribution: the area the population lives in Population Density: number of individuals per unit area Growth rate: how quickly a population increases or decreases
# of births #deaths # of individuals that enter or leave the Immigration: enter into an area Emigration: leave an area
J-shaped graph Under ideal conditions: unlimited resources TIME POPULATION SIZE
Quick growth in beginning As resources become limited growth slows or stops Carrying Capacity: max # of individuals an environment can support Carrying capacity Time Population Size
Anything that’s causes population growth to decrease Examples: Competition Disease Natural Disaster
Talk it Over: 1) A food chain 2) Name 3 abiotic factors in this ecosystem 3) Identify 3 different limiting factors
Copy down and fill in with:, or = Population increase = birth rate _____ death rate Population decrease = birth rate _____ death rate Population stable = birth rate _____ death rate > < =
