PROPERTIES of Populations
Geographic dispersion—the way in which individuals of a population are spread in an area or volume.
Eg. Bears, owls, tigers
Eg. Dandelions Eg. Wolves, bison, elephants

Population Size Calculation
What if there were1267 rabbits in a colony. In one year 1500 rabbits were born, 1285 died, 65 emigrated and 0 immigrated. What is the new size of the population?
Answer: 1417 What would the number look like if
there was a decline in population growth?
Negative number

Population Growth RATE
Population growth RATE The amount by which a population’s size changes
over time.

2 Types of Population Growth Rate
1. Exponential2. Logistic

EXPONENTIAL Model of Population Growth A population grows exponentially when resources are
abundant. If a population grows exponentially the population size
increases dramatically over a period of time.

Positive Feedback
Exponential growth is an example of positive feedback. The more
organisms there are, the more babies will be born who, in turn, grow up to have babies themselves and so on.

Positive Feedback
Positive feedbacks can be expressed in graph form as well.

Time vs. Number of Individuals
![Page 14: POPULATIONS Definition: All the members of a species that live in one place at one time](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2b5503460f94c45193/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
LogisticModel of Population Growth
Most populations face limiting factors and thus show a logistic growth rate.
Populations are limited by finite resources in the environment.
![Page 15: POPULATIONS Definition: All the members of a species that live in one place at one time](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2b5503460f94c45193/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Logistic Population Growth
The amount of resources in an environment dictates its carrying capacity.
Definition:
The number of individuals
the environment can support
over a long period of time
![Page 16: POPULATIONS Definition: All the members of a species that live in one place at one time](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2b5503460f94c45193/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Negative Feedback
Logistic growth is an example of negative feedback.
Since resources are limited, there is competition for these resources, therefore death rates rise, causing the population to stabilize.
![Page 17: POPULATIONS Definition: All the members of a species that live in one place at one time](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2b5503460f94c45193/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Birth rate increases Death rate increases Carrying capacity

LOGISTIC Model of Population Growth
Negative Feedback Loops can be expressed in graph form
Stretched out “S”When population is small,
birth rate is higher
than death rate
As population reaches
carrying capacity,
death rate increases
When at carrying capacity,
birth rate is equal to
death rate

Logistic Growth Curve
Often the population oscillates up and down, but there is an overall equilibrium to the population.
Draw in the carrying capacity line in your notes

Logistic Growth Curve
The carrying capacity is around 1.5 million individuals
