PRINCIPLES OF POPULATION GROWTH
Increase in size of a population over time.Bacteria/yeast may be plated on agar in a petri dish and the colonies counted over time.
Plants or animals may be introduced into a new environment with plentiful resources and their growth observed.

HOW FAST DO POPULATIONS GROW? Population growth is never linear.
S shaped curve
Carrying Capacity
TIME
Number of organisms

POPULATION GROWTH
![Page 5: POPULATION BIOLOGY PRINCIPLES OF POPULATION GROWTH Increase in size of a population over time. Bacteria/yeast may be plated on agar in a petri dish](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56649e9d5503460f94b9e2ab/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
LIMITS OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Limiting factors such as food, space and water control the size of a population.
“Leveling off” of population results in S-shaped growth curve.
CARRYING CAPACITY (K) is the number of organisms that can be supported in an environment.Population below K births exceed deathsPopulation above K deaths exceed births

PATTERNS OF POPULATION GROWTH
Rapid life history pattern organisms in an unpredictable environment. Mosquito: small body size, mature quickly, reproduce early, short life span. Population fluctuate rapidly depending upon conditions.
Long life history pattern organisms living in stable environments.Elephants: large, mature and reproduce slowly, longer life span. Population size near carrying capacity

ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITS TO GROWTH POPULATION
DENSITY - DEPENDENT FACTORS Effect increases as population increases
Disease, competition, parasites, food
DENSITY - INDEPENDENT FACTORS
Affects all population regardless of size
Temperature, floods, habitat destruction, drought

ORGANISM INTERACTIONS LIMIT
POPULATION SIZE PredationPredator-prey relationship cycles:Ex: lynx and rabbits
Effects of competitionPopulation low, resources are plentiful, no problems, as population increases resources become limited and competition increases.
Effects of crowding and stressOvercrowding leads to stress. Individuals become more aggressive, show less parental care, decreased fertility

HUMAN POPULATION GROWTH
![Page 11: POPULATION BIOLOGY PRINCIPLES OF POPULATION GROWTH Increase in size of a population over time. Bacteria/yeast may be plated on agar in a petri dish](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56649e9d5503460f94b9e2ab/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS
Demography: study of human population growth characteristics. Demographers study population growth rate, age structure and geographical distribution.Human population has increased exponentially Humans are able to reduce environmental effects.

EFFECTS OF BIRTHRATES AND
DEATH RATESSlow population growth rate if deaths, exceed births
Fast population growth rate if births exceed deaths

DOES AGE AFFECT POPULATION
GROWTH? A population with more young than old people will grow faster than the reverse.
Age structure is shown on graphs and helps predict growth rate of population Broader base has faster population that is increasing

MOBILITY HAS AN EFFECT ON
POPULATION SIZE
Immigration: movement of individuals into an area. Emigration: movement of individuals out of a population International migration does not affect world population National and local populations are affected by internal migrations
