Population Growth  Populations are composed of groups of individuals of the same species living together. Critical Properties that affect the dynamics populations  Population Size  Population Density  Population Dispersion  Capacity for Growth

Population Growth  A population’s actual rate of increase is the difference between birth rate and death rate corrected for migration.  Innate capacity for growth of any population is exponential. Even when rate of increase remains constant, the actual increase in the number of individuals accelerates rapidly as the size of the population grows.

Population Growth  Exponential Growth Model Assumes population growing without limits at its maximal rate. (r = biotic potential) dN/dt=r i N  N = Number of individuals in population  dN/dt = Rate of change in population size over time  r i = Intrinsic rate of increase

Population Growth  Carrying Capacity (K) Number of individuals an area can indefinitely support.  Logistic Growth Model As population approaches its carrying capacity, its growth rate slows as resources become scarce. dN/dt = rN (K-N/K)  Sigmoid Growth Curve

Take out a blank sheet of paper On the paper write : 1.your name (first and last) 2.The date today (6/4) 3.The letter of the correct answer to the following question The population graph of brown sparrows exhibits which type of population model? A.) Exponential growth model. B.) Balancing growth model. C.) Logistic growth model. D.) Predator – Prey growth model.

Two Models of Population Growth

Influence of Population Density  Density-Dependent Effects Effects are independent of population size and act to regulate growth (weather).  Density-Dependent Effects Effects are dependent on size of population and act to regulate growth (resource competition).  Have increasing effect as population size increases.

The Niche and Competition  Niche - Biological role in community. Fundamental - Theoretical role Realized - Actual role  Competition - Two or more organisms attempt to use same resource. Interference - Fighting Exploitative - Consuming shared resources Interspecific - Different species Intraspecific - Same species

Barnacle Competition

Competitive Exclusion  Gause - No two species can coexist in the same niche indefinitely. When two species coexist on long- term basis, their niches differ in one or more features.  Otherwise, one is eventually driven to extinction.

Resource Partitioning  Sympatric Species - Occupy same geographical area but avoid competition by utilizing different portions of the habitat.

Resource Partitioning  Allopatric Species - Do not occupy same geographical area, thus are not usually in competition. Character Displacement - Differences arise between species due to natural selection.

Symbiosis  Symbiotic Relationship - Two or more species of organisms live together, and at least one gains benefit. Commensalism - One species benefits while other neither benefits or is harmed. Mutualism - Both species benefit. Parasitism - One species benefits while the other is harmed.

Predator – Prey :Plant Defenses  Predator-Prey Interactions Morphological Defenses  Thorns, spines, plant hairs Chemical Defenses  Secondary chemical compounds  Evolution of herbivores avoiding plant defense allows access to a new resource without competition from other herbivores.

Predator- Prey ; Animal Defenses  Feeding on plants rich in secondary compounds may have added benefit. Blue Jays and Monarch Butterflies  Defensive Coloration Aposomatic Coloration - Advertise poisonous nature with bright coloration. Cryptic Coloration - Camouflage  Chemical Defenses

Predator-Prey Cycles  Predation is consumption of one organism by another. Under simple laboratory conditions, predators often exterminate their prey, and then become extinct themselves when they run out of food.  If refuges are provided for the prey, a few individuals usually exist, and then repopulate after the predators die out.

Predator-Prey Cycles  Snowshoe Hares (Lepus americanus). Food - Willows Predators - Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis)

Predator- Prey cycle

Inter-relationships of species  What happens if the sparrow population increases its reproduction rate to 8 eggs per clutch?

Biodiversity  Measure of number of different types of species in an area. Crucial to ecosystem preservation.  Biodiversity Promotion Ecosystem Size  Larger ecosystems, usually have higher levels of biodiversity Latitude  Length of growing season  Climatic stability
