9 Population Dynamics, Carrying Capacity, and Conservation Biology

Population Dynamics - environmental stress and, changes in populations as a result of environmental stress and, changes in environmental conditions.

Major characteristics of a population Size – number of individuals Density – number of individuals in a certain space Dispersion – spatial pattern of a population Age distribution – proportion of individuals of each age in a population

Changes in Population Size: Entrances and Exits Populations increase through births and immigration Populations decrease through deaths and emigration

environmental resistance - factors acting to limit population growth No population can grow indefinitely. There are always limits to population growth in nature.

Carrying Capacity (K) the number of individuals of a given species that can be sustained indefinitely in a given space.

Exponential and Logistic Population Growth: J-Curves and S-Curves Populations grow rapidly with ample resources, but as resources become limited, its growth rate slows and levels off.

Exponential and Logistic Population Growth: J-Curves and S-Curves As a population levels off, it often fluctuates slightly above and below the carrying capacity.

What Happens When Populations Exceed Carrying Capacity Members of populations which exceed their resources will die unless they adapt or move to an area with more resources.

Population density Density-independent population controls Affect a population’s size regardless of its population density. Floods, fires, hurricanes habitat destruction Density-dependent population controls Factors that have a greater effect as a population’s density grows Competition of resources, predation, parasitism, disease

Types of Population Change Curves in Nature Population sizes often vary in regular cycles when the predator and prey populations are controlled by the scarcity of resources. (predator-prey oscillation)
