5. Properties of Populations
Section 1 Understanding Populations
Chapter 19
Properties of Populations
A population is a group of organisms that belong to the same species and live in a particular place at the same time.
Populations can be measured in terms of size, density, dispersion, growth rate, age structure, and survivorship.

Patterns of Mortality
Populations show three patterns of mortality or survivorship curves:
Type I (low mortality until late in life)
Type II (constant mortality throughout life)
Type III (high mortality early in life followed by low mortality for the remaining life span).

15. Section 2 Measuring Populations
Chapter 19
Objectives
Identify the four processes that determine population growth.
Compare the exponential model and the logistic model of population growth.
Differentiate between density-dependent and density-independent regulation of populations.
Explain why small populations are more vulnerable to extinction.

16. Population Growth Rate
Section 2 Measuring Populations
Chapter 19
Population Growth Rate
Demographers, scientists who study population dynamics, define the growth rate of a population as the amount by which a population’s size changes in a given time.

Population Size
Birth rate - death rate = growth rate

18. Chapter 19 The Exponential Model
Section 2 Measuring Populations
Chapter 19
The Exponential Model
The exponential model describes perpetual growth at a steady rate in a population.
The model assumes constant birth and death rates and no immigration or emigration.

Exponential Growth

20. Chapter 19 The Logistic Model
Section 2 Measuring Populations
Chapter 19
The Logistic Model
In the logistic model, birth rates fall and death rates climb as the population grows.
When the carrying capacity is reached, the number of individuals the environment can support is reached and population growth becomes stable.

23. Population Regulation
Section 2 Measuring Populations
Chapter 19
Population Regulation
Population-limiting factors, such as competition, are density-dependent because the effect on each individual depends on the number of other individuals present in the same area.

24. Population Regulation, continued
Section 2 Measuring Populations
Chapter 19
Population Regulation, continued
Population-limiting factors, such as bad weather and fires, are density-independent because the effect on each individual does not depend on the number of other individuals present in the same area.

Perils of Small Populations
Small populations have low genetic diversity and are subject to inbreeding, so they are less likely to adapt to environmental changes.

28. Section 3 Human Population Growth
Chapter 19
Objectives
Explain how the development of agriculture changed the pattern of human population growth.
Describe changes in human population size in the past 10,000 years.
Compare observed patterns of population growth in developed and developing countries.

History of Human Population Growth
The Development of Agriculture
About 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, the development of agriculture increased the growth rate of the human population.

The Population Explosion
Around 1650, improvements in hygiene, diet, and economic conditions further accelerated population growth.
After World War II, the human population grew at the fastest rate in history, largely because of better sanitation and medical care in poorer countries.

Section 3 Human Population Growth
Chapter 19
Demographic Transition
Human populations have undergone rapid growth, yet in some developed countries, populations have stopped growing.
The demographic transition model shows how these population changes happen.

Study the graph of fruit fly population growth on the previous slide.
Explain why the population stops increasing after it reaches the point labeled 3 on the curve.
Answer: At point 3, the population has stopped exponential growth and has reached its carrying capacity. Limiting factors usually slow population growth down.

Answer:
Part A Food availability is one limiting factor that could affect population growth.
Part B Food availability will affect the population at every point along the growth curve. Without food, the population could not experience unlimited growth as shown in area 2. However, food availability has its greatest effect at the carrying capacity, or area 3 on the curve. At the carrying capacity, the environment is supporting the maximum number of individuals based on available resources. Less food will lead to a sudden decrease in population.
