Chapter 40b Population Ecology

You Must Know: How density, dispersion, and demographics can describe a population. The differences between exponential and logistic models of population growth. How density-dependent and density- independent factors can control population growth.

Introduction Population = group of individuals of a single species living in same general area Density: # individuals / area Dispersion: pattern of spacing between individuals

Determining population size and density: Count every individual Random sampling Mark-recapture method

Patterns of Dispersal: Clumped – most common; near required resource Uniform – usually antagonistic interactions Random – unpredictable spacing, not common in nature

Demography: the study of vital statistics of populations and how they change over time Additions occur through birth, and subtractions occur through death. Life table: age-specific summary of the survival pattern of a population

Survivorship Curve: represent # individuals alive at each age Type I: low death rate early in life (humans) Type II: constant death rate over lifespan (squirrels) Type III: high death rate early in life (oysters)

Change in Population Size dN/dt = B-D N = population size t = time Change in population size during time interval Births during time interval Deaths during time interval = -

Zero Population Growth

Population Growth Models

Exponential population growth: ideal conditions, population grows rapidly

Exponential Growth Equation dN/dt = change in population r = growth rate of pop. N = population size

Exponential Growth Problem Sample Problem: A certain population of mice is growing exponentially. The growth rate of the population (r) is 1.3 and the current population size (N) is 2,500 individuals. How many mice are added to the population each year?

Unlimited resources are rare! Logistic model: incorporates carrying capacity (K) K = maximum stable population which can be sustained by environment

Logistic Growth Equation dN/dt = change in population r = growth rate of pop. N = population size K = carrying capacity

Logistic Growth Problem Sample Problem: If a population has a carrying capacity (K) of 900, and the growth rate (r) is 1.1, what is the population growth when the population (N) is 425?

Life History: traits that affect an organism’s schedule of reproduction and survival 3 Variables: Age of sexual maturation How often organism reproduces # offspring produced per reproductive episode Note: These traits are evolutionary outcomes, not conscious decisions by organisms

Semelparity Big-bang reproduction Many offspring produced at once Individual often dies afterwards Less stable environments Agave Plant

Iteroparity Repeated reproduction Few, but large offspring More stable environments Lizard Critical factors: survival rate of offspring and repeated reproduction when resources are limited

K-selection r-selection K-selection: pop. close to carrying capacity r-selection: maximize reproductive success K-selection r-selection Live around K Exponential growth High prenatal care Little or no care Low birth numbers High birth numbers Good survival of young Poor survival of young Density-dependent Density independent ie. Humans ie. cockroaches

Factors that limit population growth: Density-Dependent factors: population matters i.e. Predation, disease, competition, territoriality, toxic wastes, physiological factors Density-Independent factors: population not a factor i.e. Natural disasters: fire, flood, weather

Density-Dependent Regulation

Population Dynamics Population fluctuations due to biotic & abiotic factors 1975-1980: peak in wolf numbers 1995: harsh winter weather (deep snow)

What do you notice about the population cycles of the showshoe hare and lynx?

Boom-and-bust cycles Predator-prey interactions Eg. lynx and snowshoe hare on 10-year cycle

Age-Structure Diagrams

Human Population Growth 2 configurations for a stable human population (zero population growth): High birth / high death Low birth / low death Demographic transition: occurs when population goes from A  B
