Population growth
Stable population
B+I = D+E
Population growth
Shrinking population
B+I / D+E

Population growth
Rep Population growth B+I \ D+E

Exponential model
dN/dt=rN
r= per capita rate of growth
N= population size
dN/dt= population growth rate( change in #/ change in time)
Carrying capacity
K
Max population size that an environment can support with no degrading of habitat.
Varies with change in resources
Logistic rate of growth
dN/dt= rN(k-N)
K
Density dependent
effect is dependent on density of population
density independent
effect isn’t related to/is independent of density of population
Why
-Drought
- Competition for water
- Flood
- Disease
Intraspecific competition
(density dependent)
- two or more individuals of the same species simultaneously demand use of a limited resource.
Intraspecific predation
(density dependent)
the process of both killing and eating an individual of the same species
abiotic factors
(density independent)
food or nutrient limitation, pollutants in the environment, and climate extremes
