Ch. 20.1 Population Ecologypp.379-382 Population = group of the same species, in the same place, at the same time • the place can be defined any way you decide • Pop. size = count • Pop. density = thickness = Population #1: 30 people in the gym Population #2: 20 people in Mr. G’s room Which has a higher size? Which has a higher density?

Ch. 20.1 Population Ecologypp.379-382 Population Dynamics = how populations change • Dynamic = changing constantly • Birth rate = births/time • Death rate = deaths/time • Life expectancy = how long the average individual is expected to live Why might the average woman live longer? Is it because they are healthier or the average man lives shorter?
Ch. 20.1 Population Ecologypp.379-382 Age structure = distribution by age of individuals in a population
Ch. 20.1 Population Ecologypp.379-382 Survivorship curve = shows when populations die (how they survivor) Type I: few die early in life, many die late in life (humans, elephants) Type II: die equally throughout life (prey species, mice, squirrels, rabbits…) Type III: many die early, few die late (insects, oysters, turtles)
