  1. Populations

  2. Population – a group of individuals of a single species that live in the same area.

  3. Dispersion • One metric used to analyze populations is to look at their dispersion, the pattern of spacing in a population

  4. Uniform arises when there are repulsing factors that push organisms apart • Clumped arises when there are attracting factors (such as herding) that pull organisms together. • Random occurs when there is a lack of attracting or repulsing effects.

  5. Population Size and Density • Population size – total number of organisms in a population • Often measured with mark-recapture • Population density – number of organisms per unit area
