Geographic distribution Density Growth Rate
6
Geographic distribution- area that is inhabited Density Growth Rate
7
Geographic distribution Density- number of individuals per unit area Growth Rate
8
Geographic distribution Density- number of individuals per unit area Growth Rate
9
Geographic distribution Density Growth Rate- how fast the population grows
10
Population size is determined by Number of births Number of deaths Number of individuals that enter or leave the population
11
Birth rate- how many are born Baby Boom Death rate- how many die Black Plague
12
Birth RateDeath RateOverall Rate
13
Immigration- movement into area Emigration- movement out of area What causes people to immigrate or emigrate? What causes bears to immigrate or emigrate?
14
Where are the high birth rates in the world? Where are the high death rates in the world? Many developed nations have a negative growth rate. Why?
15
-ability to reproduce quickly -nutrients -space -water
16
Bacteria- divide every 20 minutes one day- 4,720,000,000,000,000,000,000 What is the reproduction rate for a mouse? What is the reproduction rate for a human?
17
When a population reproduces at a constant rate. This occurs only under ideal conditions with unlimited resources.
18
Logistic growth- occurs when a population’s growth slows or stops after exponential growth Why does a population stop growing exponentially? Birth rate decreases Death rate increases Immigration decreases Emigration increases
19
Carrying capacity- The largest number of individuals that an environment can support
20
Limiting factor- a factor that causes population growth to decrease Competition Predation Parasitism and disease Human disturbances Drought and other climate extremes
21
Density-dependent limiting factor- depends on the population size Competition- food, water, space, sunlight Same species Different species Competitive exclusion principle No two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat at the same time
22
Predation predator-prey relationship Parasitism and Disease
23
Density-Independent Factors- affect all populations, regardless of size Unusual weather Natural disasters Seasonal cycles Human activities- damming rivers and clear- cutting forests
24
Demography- the scientific study of human populations Demographic transition- a dramatic change in birth and death rates
25
1. Birth rates stay same, Death rates decline 2. Birth rates decline, death rates stay low Birth RateDeath RateOverall Rate
26
Age-Structure Diagram- graph of the numbers of people in different age groups
29
How many people can the world support? What are the things that people need to live? -food -water -housing -jobs
