Intraspecific Population Regulation Flashcards
_____ Competition is competition within one species
Intraspecific Competition
_____ Competition is competition among individuals of different species
Interspecific Competition
_____ is positive equilibrium for a population, where growth rate is zero determines by environment
Carrying Capacity (K)
Density _____ is when the rate or process depends on population size
Density Dependence
Density _____ is when the rate or process doesn’t depend on density
Density Independence
_____ is when population returns to equilibrium point despite deviations away from equilibrium
Global Stable Equilibrium
_____ Competition is when resources are partitioned equally
- growth and reproduction are suppressed equally
Scramble Competition
_____ Competition is when resources are not partitioned equally
- clear winners and losers
Contest Competition
_____ is competition for a shared resource
- individuals do not need to interact with each other
Exploitation
_____ is competition in which access to a resource is limited by the presence of the competitor
Interference
_____: after self thinning occurs, populations will end up having similar biomass (due to difference in biomass with density)
Constant Yield
_____ is a decline in density due to density dependent mortality and increase in biomass over time of remaining plants
Self Thinning
_____ is irreversible societal collapse
Behavioral Sink
_____ is the number per area
Density
_____ is when deviations away from A will lead to population going to carrying capacity (K) or going extinct
Unstable Equilibrium
