  3. Chapter #10 – Population Growth (pg. 204 – 221) 10.1 Population Growth Reflects the Difference Between Birth and Death. 10.2 Life Tables Provide a Schedule of Age-Specific Mortality and Survival. 10.3 Different Life Tables Reflect Different Approaches to Defining Cohorts and Age Structure. 10.4 Life Tables Provide Data for Mortality and Survivorship Curves.

  4. Chapter #10 – Population Growth (pg. 204 – 221) 10.2 Life Tables Provide a Schedule of Age-Specific Mortality and Survival. Life Tables provide an age-specific account of mortality. The construction of a life table begins with a cohort - a group of individuals born in the same period of time.

  12. Chapter #10 – Population Growth (pg. 204 – 221) 10.3 Different Life Tables Reflect Different Approaches to Defining Cohorts and Age Structure. Dynamic Life Table – Following the fate (cohort) of a group of individuals born at a given time (year). Time-specific Life Table – One sample period assumes: constant birth and death rates each cohort sample according to actual population proportions.

  13. Chapter #10 – Population Growth (pg. 204 – 221) 10.4 Life Tables Provide Data for Mortality and Survivorship Curves.

  14. Years and Months Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) Stonecrop (Sedum smallii)

  15. Chapter #10 – Population Growth (pg. 204 – 221) 10.4 Life Tables Provide Data for Mortality and Survivorship Curves.

  16. Chapter #10 – Population Growth (pg. 204 – 221) 10.4 Life Tables Provide Data for Mortality and Survivorship Curves. Type I – when individuals live out their physiological life span followed by heavy mortality at the end (convex). ex. - large mammals and humans

  17. Chapter #10 – Population Growth (pg. 204 – 221) 10.4 Life Tables Provide Data for Mortality and Survivorship Curves. Type II – when survivorship rates do not vary with age (straight line). ex. – adult birds (some waterfowl and migratory songbirds, small mammals and reptiles.

  18. Chapter #10 – Population Growth (pg. 204 – 221) 10.4 Life Tables Provide Data for Mortality and Survivorship Curves. Type I – when mortality rates are extremely high early in life (concave). ex. – fish, invertebrates, plants (annual and perennial).

  19. Chapter #10 – Population Growth (pg. 204 – 221) 10.6 Birthrate and Survivorship Determine Net Reproductive Rate (R0). Fecundity – the potential reproductive capacity of an organism or population. Net Reproductive Rate (R0) – the average number of females that will be left (progeny) during a lifetime by a newborn female. If (R0) is < 1.0, the population is decreasing. If (R0) is = 1.0, the replacement. If (R0) is > 1.0, the population is increasing.

  20. Chapter #10 – Population Growth (pg. 204 – 221) 10.7 Age-Specific Mortality and Birthrates Can Be Used to Project Population Change.

  21. Chapter #10 – Population Growth (pg. 204 – 221) 10.7 Age-Specific Mortality and Birthrates Can Be Used to Project Population Change. From such a projection table (life table) you can calculate the age distribution (stable or stationary) for each age class or cohort in the population and to project population growth (λ - lambda).

  22. Chapter #10 – Population Growth (pg. 204 – 221) 10.8 Stochastic Processes Can Influence Population Dynamics. Stochasticity –variation in a population from random effects within a season or time period (t). Demographic Stochasticity – variation in population growth/declining rates from random effects among individuals in survival and reproduction within a season or time period (t). Environmental Stochasticity – variation in population growth/declining rates from random effects arising from environmental factors or the occurrence of natural disasters such as fire, flood, and drought within a season or time period (t).

  23. Chapter #10 – Population Growth (pg. 204 – 221) • 10.9 A Variety of Fators Can Lead to Population Extinction. • Resource Shortage • Restoration/Reintroduction • Potential new competitors, • predators, etc. (Human-assisted)

  24. Chapter #10 – Population Growth (pg. 204 – 221) • 10.10 Small Populations are Susceptible to Extinction. • Stochastic Effects. • Wide Dispersal/Small Populations may have trouble locating mates. • Allee Effect – a decline in reproduction or survival at low densities. • Genetic Drift – random change in gene frequency. • Inbreeding.
