Bio 270 Practice Population Growth Questions 1 Population Growth Questions Answer Key 1. Distinguish between exponential and logistic population growth. Give the equations for each. Exponential growth is continuous population growth in an environment where resources are unlimited; it is density-independent growth. dN/dt = rN where, dN/dt = change in population size; r = intrinsic rate of increase (= per capita rate of increase and equals birth rate minus death rate); N = population size. Nt = Noert where, Nt = population size at time t; No = original population size, r = intrinsic rate of increase and t = time Logistic growth is continuous population growth in an environment where resources are

Population Biology Population Dynamics Principles of Population Growth Exponential growth: as a population gets larger, it also grows at a faster rate (makes a J-shaped curve on a graph) A population cannot grow indefinitely; eventually, factors such as lack of food, disease, etc. will slow population growth (makes an S-shaped curve on a graph) Carrying capacity: the number of organisms of one species that an environment can support indefinitely When a population overshoots the carrying capacity, limiting factors may come into effect Reproduction Patterns Populations are always naturally fluctuating Life-history pattern: an organism?s reproductive pattern Rapid life-history patterns are common among organisms from changeable or unpredictable environments

Population ecology is the study of populations in relation to environment, including environmental influences on density and distribution, age structure, and population size Concept: Dynamic biological processes influence population density, dispersion, and demographics A population is a group of individuals of a single species living in the same general area Density and Dispersion Density is the number of individuals per unit area or volume Dispersion is the pattern of spacing among individuals within the boundaries of the population Environmental and social factors influence spacing of individuals in a population Density: A Dynamic Perspective In most cases, it is impractical or impossible to count all individuals in a population
