How many beans are in the jar?
• With your lab partner…Discuss a way you can find out how many beans are in the jar without dumping the jar.
• You have a limited amount of time to figure it out.
![Page 3: Studying Populations. How many beans are in the jar? With your lab partner…Discuss a way you can find out how many beans are in the jar without dumping](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070412/5697bf8e1a28abf838c8cb42/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
How do you determine a population’s size?
• Direct Observation• Indirect Observation• Sampling• Mark-and-Recapture Studies
![Page 4: Studying Populations. How many beans are in the jar? With your lab partner…Discuss a way you can find out how many beans are in the jar without dumping](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070412/5697bf8e1a28abf838c8cb42/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Direct Observation• Count the number of organisms in
natural setting ecosystem.
PROS CONSObvious way Not practical: Cannot do
this in large areasReliable because it isn’t an
estimateBest if organism doesn’t
moveLimited view (only as many
as you count)

Examples:
How many in the population of Starfish?
How many in the population of people at the beach?

Indirect Observation• Observe signs of the organism and count
the signs instead of the organisms themselves.
PROS CONSSometimes easier to count
signs than mobile organisms
An estimate: need some basic information
Easy calculations to make an estimate
Still hard to do in large areas
Adds to research Signs can be hard to interpret: need basic info

How many in the population of bears?
How many in the bird population?

Sampling (Random Sampling)• Make an estimate by counting the number of
organisms in a small area and then multiplying it to find the number of organisms in the larger area.
PROS CONSEstimate-made on
reasonable assumptionsEstimate-made on
reasonable assumptionsConcentrate on small area;
multiply to find big areaArea needs to represent
total areaActually counting
organismsNeeds to be random

Mr. Luce is very concerned with the number of deer in Northeast Ohio and the increase in car accidents. To study this he surveyed 3 communities about their deer populations and found on average 10 deer live per square mile.
1. What method of population study did he use?
2. What could make his result more reliable?

While on vacation Mrs. Goodman wondered how many people used the hotel pool in the morning. When she arrived to sun bathe at noon she counted the towels laying on chairs.
3. Which method of population study did she use?
4. Name one problem that could arise with her data.

Mark-and-Recapture Studies• Collect a group of organisms and label the organisms. Release
them, then later collect another group. Count the ones with marks, do calculations to estimate total number.
PROS CONSEstimate-made on reasonable
assumptionsEstimate-lengthy calculations
Can observe health of organisms
Time consuming
Can gather other data at the same time
Dependent on capturing organisms
Assume all organisms have same ability to get captured

Review: 1. What are the four methods of determining
population size?2. Which method would you use if you had a small

also study the health of the organisms?4. Which method would you use in a large area?5. Which method would you use if you could not
easily see/find the organism?6. Which methods are estimates?7. Which method is most accurate?

Review Answers:1. Direct Observation, Indirect Observation, Random
Sampling, Mark-and-Recapture Studies2. Direct Observation3. Mark-and-Recapture4. Random Sampling5. Indirect Observation6. Indirect Observation, Random Sampling, Mark-and-
Recapture Studies7. It depends on how each method is applied. All methods
have pros and cons. You should pick the method that has the least negatives given the conditions of your study.

Populations can Change in Size• Birth Rate- number of births in the population in
a certain time.• Death Rate- number of deaths in the population
in a certain time.--------------------------------------------------------------------• Immigration- organisms moving into a
population (not due to birth)• Emigration- organisms moving out of a
population (not due to death)

_________________ and ____________.• Populations can decrease in size through
________________ and ____________.• What is the easiest method to depict population size

Population Density• The number of individuals in an area of a
specific size.
Population Density = Number of IndividualsArea
Example: Population Density = 20 butterflies square meter
20 butterflies per square meter.

Carrying Capacity
• The largest population an area can support.– Can be called:
• Equilibrium or Balance
Depends on resources available, size of population, amount of resources each member is consuming.

• An environmental factor that causes a population to decrease (or not grow higher).
– Examples: Food, Water, Sunlight, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Space, Weather Conditions
