Populations  Groups of organisms of the same species that live within a given area  Key characteristics: Dispersion patterns Population density Growth rate Ostriches are nomadic, wandering in small groups. Aspen trees are quick to pioneer areas that have been disturbed by fire. BioEd Online

Dispersion Patterns Within Populations Three common patterns of population distribution are: BioEd Online

Population Density  Population density is total population size per unit of area.  Population densities depend on: Interactions within the environment Quality of habitat Density dependent factors Density independent factors  Carrying capacity (K) is the maximum number of organisms that can be supported in a given habitat.  Biotic potential (r) is the highest possible growth given unlimited resources and ideal living conditions. BioEd Online

Population Density Formulas  D = N/A

Population Growth  A population’s size directly depends on how much and how fast it grows.  Birth rates and immigration can add to a population  Death rates and emigration can lower the amount in a population.  N = pop. increase - pop. Decrease  gr = N/ t

Population Growth Exponential vs. Logistical Growth BioEd Online

Reproductive Strategies  r- Selected (maximum growth rate, below carrying capacity) Early reproduction Short life span High mortality rate Little or no parental care Large investment in producing large numbers of offspring Below carrying capacity Examples:  Bony fish  Grasshoppers  K-Selected (maximizes population size near carrying capacity) Late reproduction Long life span Low mortality rate Extensive parental care Greater investment in maintenance and survival of adults At or near carrying capacity Examples:  Sharks  Elephants BioEd Online

Survivorship in Populations BioEd Online

Limits on Population Growth  Density Dependent Limits Food Water Shelter Disease  Density Independent Limits Weather Climate Water and shelter are critical limiting factors in the desert. Fire is an example of a Density independent Limiting factor. BioEd Online
