Happy Tuesday!! Feb. 7th • Think back…what’s a population? Draw one on your page. • QUIZ today—study quietly until the bell!
Chapter 19: Populations 19-1: Understanding Populations
How big is the HUMAN pop? • 6.3 BILLION in 2003 • Tripled since 1900!! • World Population Clock
What’s a population? • Same species • Live in same place @ same time • Examples?
Studying Populations • Pop size: • # indiv in pop • Not always easy to measure! • Mobile vs immobile • Many vs few • Subsample, extrapolate
Population Density • How crowded • # indiv/unit area or volume
Depends on Dispersion! • Spatial distribution UNIFORMCLUMPEDRANDOM Draw: Why? Ex?

Demography • Birth rate (natality) • US: ~4 million/yr • Death rate (mortality) • US: ~2.6 million/yr • Life expectancy • US: 74-80 yrs
Which country has a higher % of young people? • Of elderly people? • Which may show rapid growth in the near future?
Patterns of Mortality: Survivorship Curves • I: • II: • III: http://my.hrw.com/sh2/sh07_10/student/flash/visual_concepts/60340.htm
Happy Monday! 9/19 • Give an example of an animal for each type of Survivorship Curve.
Chapter 19: Populations 19-2: Measuring Populations

Depends on 4 processes: • Birth • Death • Immigration • Emigration

Limiting factors? Carrying capacity?
As pop grows, what happens to density? • More competition, limited resources
Pop. Size: Limiting Factors • Density-Dependent • Density-Independent Pop dens matter? Ex?
Small Pops Have Problems • Endangered species • Siberian tiger, California condor, cheetah, sea turtles, panda • Natural disasters, disease; inbreeding • Bigger impact

Chapter 19: Populations 19-3: Human Population Growth
Fast? Slow? Leveled off? • Bubonic Plague, 1340s/50s • Improved health conditions 1650s • Further improved after WWII in poorer countries • Type of growth curve? • Sustainable?
