4-1: Population DynamicsPopulations are described as follows:
DensitySpatial distributionGrowth rate
Would an individual be considered a population?
![Page 3: Population Ecology 4-1: Population Dynamics Populations are described as follows: Density Spatial distribution Growth rate Would an individual be considered](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfc91a28abf838ca9291/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Population CharacteristicsPopulation density – number of organisms
per unit of areaSpatial distribution
Dispersion (availability of resources is the most important factor) Uniform Clumped groups Random
Which of these dispersion types would be the easiest to predict?

Population ranges
Only certain areas an organism can be located (i.e. Iiwi vs. Peregrine Falcon)
A species might not be able to expand its population range because it cannot survive the abiotic conditions found in the expanded region.
Is it possible for a population to grow unchecked in size?

Population – Limiting FactorsDensity-independent factors
Population size does NOT matterUsually abioticEx. Weather
Density-dependentPopulation size does matterUsually bioticDisease, parasites & competition

Disease – outbreaks can be transmitted faster between individuals
Competition – when food and space become limited – fights will break out
Parasites – similar to disease

Emigration vs. Immigration

4-1 HOMEWORKPretend you are living in the 16 and 17 hundreds.
Create an advertisement (possible group of two) urging American settlers to move westward using knowledge gained from the section. Be creative!!
Using the 3 dispersion patterns – find organisms that are defined by each and explain why.
Create a comic strip from the perspective of any r-strategist
Give me a real world example of a density-independent factor and a density-dependent factor. Research this – none from discussion or book allowed.

Technological advancesWe have learned to alter our environment to
change carrying capacityHuman population growth rate
Although raising in overall population, the percent of increase is dropping Diseases such as AIDS Voluntary population control
