Population Ecology Part 2 Discussion population ecosystem community biosphere organism

Big Questions: What characterizes a population? What important factors influence population growth?

Population Size Changes to population size – adding & removing individuals from a population birth death immigration emigration Births and immigration add individuals to a population. Births Immigration PopuIation size Emigration Deaths Deaths and emigration remove individuals from a population.

Population growth rates Factors affecting population growth rate – sex ratio how many females vs. males? – generation time at what age do females reproduce? – age structure how females at reproductive age in cohort?

Life table Demography Factors that affect growth & decline of populations – vital statistics & how they change over time Why do teenage boys pay high car insurance rates? females males What adaptations have led to this difference in male vs. female mortality?

Survivorship curves Graphic representation of life table Belding ground squirrel The relatively straight lines of the plots indicate relatively constant rates of death; however, males have a lower survival rate overall than females.

Age structure Relative number of individuals of each age What do these data imply about population growth in these countries?

Survivorship curves Generalized strategies What do these graphs tell about survival & strategy of a species? I.High death rate in post-reproductive years II.Constant mortality rate throughout life span III.Very high early mortality but the few survivors then live long (stay reproductive)

Trade-offs: survival vs. reproduction The cost of reproduction – increase reproduction may decrease survival age at first reproduction investment per offspring number of reproductive cycles per lifetime Natural selection favors a life history that maximizes lifetime reproductive success

Reproductive strategies K-selected – late reproduction – few offspring – invest a lot in raising offspring primates coconut r-selected – early reproduction – many offspring – little parental care insects many plants K-selected r-selected

Trade offs Number & size of offspring vs. Survival of offspring or parent Number & size of offspring vs. Survival of offspring or parent r-selected K-selected “Of course, long before you mature, most of you will be eaten.”

Life strategies & survivorship curves Human (type I) Hydra (type II) Oyster (type III) Percent of maximum life span Survival per thousand K-selection r-selection

Population growth change in population = births – deaths Exponential model (ideal conditions) dN = r i N dt N= # of individuals r= rate of growth r i = intrinsic rate t= time d= rate of change growth increasing at constant rate intrinsic rate = maximum rate of growth every pair has 4 offspring every pair has 3 offspring

Exponential growth rate Characteristic of populations without limiting factors – introduced to a new environment or rebounding from a catastrophe African elephant protected from hunting African elephant protected from hunting Whooping crane coming back from near extinction Whooping crane coming back from near extinction

K = carrying capacity Logistic rate of growth Can populations continue to grow exponentially? Of course not! effect of natural controls no natural controls What happens as N approaches K?

Influence of population size (N) on per capita rate of increase (r) Maximum Positive Negative 0 N  KN  K Population size (N) Per capita rate of increase (r)

Population growth predicted by the logistic model dN dt  1.0N Exponential growth Logistic growth dN dt  1.0N 1,500  N 1,500 K  1, ,000 1,500 2,000 Number of generations Population size (N)

Time (days) Number of cladocerans (per 200 ml) Maximum population size that environment can support with no degradation of habitat – varies with changes in resources Time (years) Number of breeding male fur seals (thousands) Carrying capacity What’s going on with the plankton?

Changes in Carrying Capacity Population cycles – predator – prey interactions At what population level is the carrying capacity? K K K K

Any Questions?

What influences populations to adopt r or k life history strategies? Explain exponential growth. Know what carrying capacity is. Explain why human populations are experiencing exponential growth.
