  1. Finish Your Levels of Organization Pyramid: Remember each Layer is based on size

  2. Quiz • What basic needs are provided by an organisms habitat? • List these terms in order from smallest unit to largest: Population, organism, ecosystem, community 3. Why do ecologist study biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem. 4. Would all the insects of a forest be consisdered a population? Why / why not? 5. List two abiotic factors?

  3. Populations

  4. Direct Observation Indirect Observation Sampling Fold your paper “hotdog” Right to left Mark and Recapture Studies

  5. Direct Observation Most obvious means of determining size is to count one by one.

  6. Indirect Observation ~ Sometimes organisms are too small or too hard to find. ~ Observing their tracks or other signs rather than counting.

  7. Sampling Most cases there are too many organisms in an are to count. Take a set area, estimate the number in the area and multiply by the number of areas. Count 8 red maples in a 10 meter by-10-meter area of the forest. If the entire forest were 100x that size, you would mulitply your count by 100 to estimate total population, 800 red maples.

  8. Mark and recapture Catch a group of animals – tag them Catch a second group of animals –tag them

  9. Changes In Population Size

  10. Births and Deaths Population Equation Immigration and Emigration Graphing Changes in Population

  11. Populations can change in size when new members enter the population or when members leave the population

  12. Births and Deaths Birth rate of a population is the number of births in a population in a certain amount of time. Death rate is the number of deaths in a certain amount of time.

  13. The population Equation If birth rate > death rate, population size increases If death rate is > birth rate, population size decreases

  14. Immigration and emigration • Immigration means moving into a population • Emigration means leaving a population

  15. Graphing changes in population

  16. Limiting Factors

  17. Food space Weather

  18. Limiting factor is an environmental factor that prevents a population from increasing.

  19. Food Limiting factor when food become scarce. No matter how much shelter, water and other resources are found, population will not grow without right amount of food.

  20. Space Space is often a limiting factor of population because there is not enough room to repopulate

  21. Weather Weather conditions such as temperature and amount of rainfall can also limit population growth.
