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

Zoe Collins Mrs. G AP Bio Population Ecology Lab Introduction: For any population, a wide range of conditions can influence population size. Some of these conditions include environmental changes such as weather, habitat quality, and food availability. Other conditions involve interactions with competing populations of other species, and predator-prey relationships.
