Geographic Range
The area inhabited by a population is called its geographic range.
![Page 4: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Population DensityPopulation density refers
to the number of individuals per unit area.
![Page 5: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Population DistributionDistribution refers to how
individuals in a population are spaced out across the range of the population—randomly, uniformly, or mostly concentrated in clumps.
![Page 6: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Random DistributionPurple lupines grow
randomly in a field among other wildflowers.
The dots in the illustration represent individual members of a population with random distribution.

Uniform DistributionAn example of a
population that shows uniform distribution is the king penguin.

Clumped DistributionAn example of a
population that shows clumped distribution is the striped catfish. These fish organize into tight groups.

Growth RateA population’s
growth rate determines whether the population size increases, decreases, or stays the same.
![Page 10: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Population GrowthA population will
increase or decrease in size depending on how many individuals are added to it or removed from it.
![Page 11: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Birthrate and DeathrateA population can grow
when its birthrate is higher than its death rate.
If the birthrate equals the death rate, the population may stay the same size.
If the death rate is greater than the birthrate, the population is likely to shrink.
![Page 12: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Which of the following could describe a population that is decreasing in size?
A) The birthrate and the death rate remain the same.B) The death rate is becoming lower than the birthrate.C) The death rate is constant and the birthrate is increasingD) The death rate is becoming higher than the birthrate.
![Page 15: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Exponential GrowthUnder ideal conditions with unlimited resources, a
population will grow exponentially. In exponential growth, the larger a population
gets, the faster it grows.
![Page 16: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
If you plot the size of this population on a graph over time, you get a J-shaped curve that rises slowly at first, and then rises faster and faster.

Logistic growth occurs when a population’s growth slows and then stops (most populations experience this type of growth)follows a period of exponential growth.

3 Phases of Population Growth

Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals of a particular species that a particular environment can support.

Limiting FactorsA limiting factor is a
factor that controls the growth of a population.
Some depend on population density and others do not.
![Page 25: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Density Dependent FactorsDensity-dependent
limiting factors include competition, predation, herbivory, parasitism, disease, and stress from overcrowding.
![Page 26: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
CompetitionWhen populations
become crowded, individuals compete for food, water, space, sunlight, and other essentials.
![Page 27: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
CompetitionCompetition is a
density-dependent limiting factor. The more individuals living in an area, the sooner they use up the available resources.
![Page 28: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The effects of predators on prey and the effects of herbivores on plants are two very important density-dependent population controls.
Predation and Herbivory
![Page 29: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
This graph shows the fluctuations in wolf and moose populations on Isle Royale over the years.
Predator Prey Relationships
![Page 30: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Herbivore Effects Herbivory can also
contribute to changes in population numbers.
From a plant’s perspective, herbivores are predators.
![Page 31: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Humans as PredatorsIn some situations,
human activity limits populations.
Fishing fleets have raised cod death rates so high that birthrates cannot keep up. As a result, cod populations have been dropping.
![Page 32: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Parasitism and DiseaseParasitism and disease
are density-dependent effects, because the denser the host population, the more easily parasites can spread from one host to another.
![Page 33: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
This graph shows a sudden and dramatic drop in the wolf population of Isle Royale around 1980.
At this time, a viral disease of wolves, canine parvovirus (CPV), was accidentally introduced to the island.
Parasitism and Disease

Stress from OvercrowdingOvercrowding
causes stress in populationsLowers ability to
fight diseaseCauses some
females to neglect or even eat their young
![Page 35: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Density Independent FactorsDensity-independent
limiting factors affect all populations in similar ways, regardless of population size and density.
Unusual weather such as hurricanes, droughts, or floods, and natural disasters such as wildfires, can act as density-independent limiting factors.
![Page 36: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
A) competition.B) temperature.C) crowding.D) disease.
Each of the following is a density-dependent limiting factor EXCEPT
![Page 37: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
A) a small, scattered populationB) a population with a high birthrateC) a large, dense populationD) a population with a high immigration rate
Which would be least likely to be affected by a density-dependent limiting factor?
![Page 38: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
A) earthquakeB) diseaseC) emigrationD) parasitism
Which of the following is a density-independent limiting factor?

Controlling Introduced SpeciesHydrilla in its
natural environment has natural predators, but in Florida they don’t exist.
Efforts have been made to control their population.
![Page 40: Population Growth Chapter 20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816034550346895dcf5749/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Controlling Introduced SpeciesThe best means of control
so far seems to be an imported fish called grass carp, which views hydrilla as an especially tasty treat.
Grass carp are not native to the United States. Only sterilized grass carp can be used to control hydrilla.
