| 7240564804 | Cohort | A group of individuals of the same age of the same population | 10 | |
| 7240564805 | Survivorship Curve | shows the number of proportion of members of a cohort still alive at each age | 11 | |
| 7240565962 | Survivorship Curve Type I | Low mortality during early age and middle age and a rapid increase with old age |  | 12 |
| 7240567102 | Survivorship Curve Type II | Death is relatively constant throughout the life span |  | 13 |
| 7240568095 | Survivorship Curve Type III | has high initial mortality with the few offspring that survive likely to reach adulthood |  | 14 |
| 7240569039 | Reproductive Table | an age-specific summary of the reproductive rates in a population | 15 | |
| 7240569040 | Zero Population Growth | occurs when the birth rate equals the death rate | 16 | |
| 7240569826 | Exponential Population Growth | The geometric increase of a population as it grows in an ideal, unlimited environment. | 17 | |
| 7240569827 | Carrying Capacity | Largest number of individuals of a population that a environment can support | 18 | |
| 7240570726 | Logistic Population Growth | Population growth that levels off as population size approaches carrying capacity. | 19 | |

| 7240574004 | Iteroparity | Repeated reproduction. | 22 | |
| 7240575273 | Density Independent | a birth rate or a death rate that does not change as population density changes | 23 | |
| 7240575274 | Density Dependent | if death rate rises with increasing population density, the birth rate is dependent if it falls with increasing population density | 24 | |
| 7240578438 | Population Dynamics | the study of the variations in population size and the biotic and abiotic factors that cause them | 25 | |
| 7240578439 | Metapopulation | a group of populations occupying separated suitable habitats may be linked through immigration and emigration | 26 | |
