Resumo de Recurso

Variation in population size
  1. Population size - number of individuals in a population
    1. Population density - the number of individuals per unit area
      1. Population growth - a change in the number of individuals
        1. Population growth rate - the change in number of individuals per unit time
          1. S-shaped population growth curves
            1. the population growth curve of a population colonizing a new habitat in which conditions are intially ideal has an s shape
              1. Phase 1; Slow growth
                1. Phase 2; exponential growth
                  1. Phase 3; decelerating growth
                    1. Phase 4; population stabilizers
                  2. Enviromental factors that limit popualtion size
                    1. Density dependant factors - as the popualtion density increases, density-dependant factors affect a larger proportion of the population. they are usually biotic and include intraspecific competition for space and other resources, availability of food, disease, and preditation
                      1. Density-independant factors - these facotrs affect the same proportion of the population no matter how great its density. they are usually abiotic. the most important are weather and climate
