3 Why must species very high reproductive rates have a Type III survivorship curve ? If these species didn’t have a Type III survivor-ship curve the Earth would be covered with their bodies. Why must species low reproductive rates have a Type I survivorship curve ? If these species didn’t have a Type I survivor- ship curve they would be extinct.

4 What is the expected relationship b/t reproductive rate and patterns of survival ? The greater the number offspring produced, the less energy / care the parent can invest in each offspring, the lower the survivorship of juveniles.

10 Effect of shifting reproduction to younger age classes? Increased R vs (30% increase) Decreased T1.800 vs (19% decrease) Increased r0.332 vs (77% increase) Should natural selection favor early reproduction ? If r = “fitness”, this analysis suggests YES.

11 Any disadvantages to earlier reproduction? Smaller mothers produce fewer, smaller, and(or) less vigorous young. Smaller mothers at a disadvantage in competition for resources, less able to provide for young. Survivorship of small mothers and young lower.

15 Type of Survivorship Curve ? Type III Most individuals die at a very young age. Those that get past juvenile period have lower mortality rate. Type of Life History Pattern ? r−selected: Life table indicates short life span, low juvenile survivorship, and high birth rates.

18 Type of Survivorship Curve ? Type I Most individuals survive juvenile age. Most mortality is in oldest age classes. Type of Life History Pattern ? K−selected: Life table indicates longer life span, high juvenile survivorship, and low birth rates.

19  Geometric Growth  Exponential Growth  Logistic Population Growth  Limits to Population Growth  Density Dependent  Density Independent

20  When generations do not overlap, growth can be modeled geometrically. N t = N o λ t  N t = Number of individuals at time t.  N o = Initial number of individuals.  λ = Geometric rate of increase.  t = Number of time intervals or generations.

21 Molles: Ecology 2 nd Ed.  Currently 100 individuals  Population rate, = 2 N t = N o t  After 5 years, pop has x 2 5

22  Continuous population growth in an unlimited environment can be modeled exponentially. dN / dt = r max N  Appropriate for populations with overlapping generations.  As population size (N) increases, rate of population increase (dN/dt) gets larger.

23  For an exponentially growing population, size at any time can be calculated as: N t = N o er max t  N t = Number individuals at time t.  N 0 = Initial number of individuals.  e = Base of natural logarithms.  r max = Per capita rate of increase.  t = Number of time intervals.

24

25  As resources are depleted, population growth rate slows and eventually stops: logistic population growth.  Sigmoid (S-shaped) population growth curve.  Carrying capacity (K) is the number of individuals of a population the environment can support.  Finite amount of resources can only support a finite number of individuals.

26

27

28 dN/dt = r max N(1-N/K)  r max = Maximum per capita rate of increase under ideal conditions.  When N nears K, the right side of the equation nears zero.  As population size increases, logistic growth rate becomes a small fraction of growth rate.  Highest when N=K/2.  N/K = Environmental resistance.

29  Environment limits population growth by altering birth and death rates.  Density-dependent factors  Disease, Resource competition  Density-independent factors  Natural disasters, Weather

30 Molles: Ecology 2 nd Ed.  Boag and Grant - Geospiza fortis was numerically dominant finch (1,200)  After drought of 1977, pop. fell to (180)  Food plants failed to produce seed crop.  x normal rainfall caused population to grow (1,100) due to abundance of seeds and caterpillars.

31

32  Grant and Grant documented several ways finches utilized cacti:  Open flower buds in dry season to eat pollen  Consume nectar and pollen from mature flowers  Eat seed coating (aril)  Eat seeds  Eat insects from rotting cactus pads

33  Finches tend to destroy stigmas, thus flowers cannot be fertilized.  Wet season activity may reduce seeds available to finches during the dry season.  Opuntia helleri main source for cactus finches.  Negatively impacted by El Nino (1983).  Stigma snapping delayed recovery.  Interplay of biotic and abiotic factors.

48 Molles: Ecology 2 nd Ed.  Trend of decreasing per capita availability of farmland and freshwater.  Trend of decreasing total crop land, range land, and forest  13 of 15 major marine fisheries are in a state of near or total collapse.  Humans already consume 40% of global primary productivity.

49 Molles: Ecology 2 nd Ed.  Death Rate Solution: Decrease Lx  Malnutrition  Disease  Warfare  Pollution  Chemical  Radiation  Birth Rate Solution: Decrease m x  Increase age of first reproduction (T)  Education/employment for girls/women  Decrease R 0  Universal availability of contraceptives  Decrease infant mortality  Increase standard of living

51 Molles: Ecology 2 nd Ed. Or maybe we should be doing something NOW ?

52 Molles: Ecology 2 nd Ed.  With abundant resources, pop’s can grow at geometric or exponential rates  As resources depleted, pop growth rate slows, eventually stops: logistic population growth  Environment limits population growth by changing birth and death rates  On avg., small organisms have higher (r) and more variable pops. – while large organisms have lower (r) and less variable pops
