Populations Chapter 2 Guide Part II
Population Characteristics • Number of Individuals • Same Species • In an area or place
Community • All the Plants & Animals • In a given area • ? Community of Del Mar
2.Carrying Capacity versus Unlimited Growth………. Carrying Capacity • Limited • Maximum • Decline Unlimited • No maximum • Still growing
Homeostasis = Steady state Births=Deaths No Growth Flat, straight graph Fluctuating = Changing Grows or Declines Homeostasis Fluctuating & Populations
4.Population Density • Number per? • Unit area= • ? Fish • 5 fish per 10 gallons
Density Dependent Factors:differ with the biome/environment • Amount food • Disease • Competition • Parasites Versus Independent: • Abiotic factors • Habitat disruption
5.Predator Prey Cycles:page 102 • Prey grows • Predator follows • Prey falls • Predator follows • Etc,
6. Demography =Study of human populations, age groups Natality = • Births • Increases # Mortality = • Deaths • Decreases #
Immigration & Emigration Immigration = • Coming in • Increases # Emigration = • Going out • Decreases #
World Populations are affected only by……... • Natality • Mortality • Aliens would immigrate! • Space Colonies would emigrate
