Chapter 52 Population Ecology Lecture Outline Overview: Earth?s Fluctuating Populations To understand human population growth, we must consider the general principles of population ecology. Population ecology is the study of populations in relation to the environment, including environmental influences on population density and distribution, age structure, and population size. Concept 52.1 Dynamic biological processes influence population density, dispersion, and demography A population is a group of individuals of a single species that live in the same general area. Members of a population rely on the same resources, are influenced by similar environmental factors, and have a high likelihood of interacting with and breeding with one another.
