Measur And Modeling Population Change Flashcards
1
Q
Open population
A
Population in which change in number and density is determined by births, deaths, immigration and emigration
2
Q
Biotic potential
A
The maximum rate a population can increase under ideal conditions. Also called intrinsic rate of increase or pop change
3
Q
Geometric growth
A
Pattern of pop group where organisms reproduce at fixed intervals at a constant rate
4
Q
Exponential growth
A
Pattern of population growth where organism reproduce continuously at a constant rate
5
Q
Logistic growth
A
Geometric and exponential growth rates are unrealistic at over long periods of time, as resources are depleted
6
Q
Closed population
A
Population in which change in size and density is determined by birth rate and death rate
Ex. Bacteria in a lab
