KEY CONCEPT Populations grow in predictable patterns.

Changes in a population’s size are determined by immigration, births, emigration, and deaths. The size of a population is always changing. Four factors affect the size of a population. Immigration (+) - enter Births (+) - birth Emigration (-) - leave Deaths (-) - die

Population growth is based on available resources. Exponential growth is a rapid population increase due to an abundance of resources.

Logistic growth is due to a population facing limited resources…called a “S” growth curve..hits a carrying capacity

Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals in a population that the environment can support. A population crash is a dramatic decline in the size of a population over a short period of time.

Ecological factors limit population growth. A limiting factor is something that keeps the size of a population down. Density-dependent limiting factors are affected by the number of individuals in a given area…. amount of food number of nesting sites Competition for resources

Density-independent limiting factors limit a population’s growth regardless of the density. unusual weather natural disasters human activities
