5-1 How Populations Grow
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Characteristics of Populations
• Three important characteristics of a population are its:– geographic distribution– density– growth rate
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
• Geographic distribution, or range, describes the area inhabited by a population.
• Population density is the number of individuals per unit area.
• Growth rate is the increase or decrease of the number of individuals in a population over time.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Population Growth• Three factors can affect population size:
– the number of births– the number of deaths– the number of individuals that enter or leave the
population
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
• Immigration, the movement of individuals into an area, is another factor that can cause a population to grow.
• Populations can increase by immigration as animals in search of mates or food arrive from outside.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
• Emigration, the movement of individuals out of an area, can cause a population to decrease in size.
• Emigration can occur when animals leave to find mates and establish new territories.
• A shortage of food in one area may also lead to emigration.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Exponential Growth• Under ideal conditions with unlimited resources, a
population will grow exponentially.• Exponential growth occurs when the individuals in a
population reproduce at a constant rate.• The population becomes larger and larger until it
approaches an infinitely large size.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Exponential Growth
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Logistic Growth
• In nature, exponential growth does not continue in a population for very long.
• As resources become less available, the growth of a population slows or stops.
• Logistic growth occurs when a population's growth slows or stops following a period of exponential growth.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
• Logistic growth is characterized by an S-shaped curve.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
• Carrying Capacity– The largest number of individuals of a population that a given environment can support is called its carrying capacity.
– When a population reaches the carrying capacity of its environment, its growth levels off. The average growth rate is zero.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
5-2 Limits to Growth
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Limiting Factors
• The primary productivity of an ecosystem can be reduced when there is an insufficient supply of a particular nutrient.
• Ecologists call such substances limiting nutrients.• A limiting nutrient is an example of a more
general ecological concept: a limiting factor. • In the context of populations, a limiting factor is a
factor that causes population growth to decrease.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Density-Dependent Factors
• A limiting factor that depends on population size is called a density-dependent limiting factor.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Density-Dependent Factors• competition• predation• parasitism• disease
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Density-Dependent Factors
• Density-dependent factors operate only when the population density reaches a certain level. These factors operate most strongly when a population is large and dense.
• They do not affect small, scattered populations as greatly.

Density-Independent Factors• Density-independent limiting factors affect all populations in similar ways, regardless of the population size.
• Examples of density-independent limiting factors include: – unusual weather– natural disasters– seasonal cycles– certain human activities—such as damming rivers
and clear-cutting forests

16-3 The Process of Speciation16-3 The Process of Speciation
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
16-3 The Process of Speciation• Natural selection and chance events can
change the relative frequencies of alleles in a population and lead to speciation.
• Speciation is the formation of new species.• A species is a group of organisms that breed with one another and produce fertile offspring IN NATURE.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Isolating Mechanisms
– The gene pools of two populations must become separated for them to become new species.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
• As new species evolve, populations become reproductively isolated from each other.– When the members of two populations cannot interbreed and produce fertile offspring, reproductive isolation has occurred.
• Reproductive isolation can develop in a variety of ways, including:
• behavioral isolation• geographic isolation• temporal / seasonal isolation
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Behavioral Isolation• Behavioral isolation occurs when two populations are capable of interbreeding but have differences in courtship rituals or other reproductive strategies that involve behavior.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Geographic Isolation• Geographic isolation occurs when two populations are separated by geographic barriers such as rivers or mountains.
• Geographic barriers do not guarantee the formation of new species.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Temporal Isolation• Temporal isolation or seasonal isolation occurs when two or more species reproduce at different times of the year.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Speciation in Darwin's FinchesSpeciation in the Galápagos finches occurred by:
– founding of a new population– geographic isolation– changes in new population's gene pool– reproductive isolation– ecological competition
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Founders Arrive
A few finches—species A—travel from South America to one of the Galápagos Islands.
There, they survive and reproduce.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Geographic Isolation
Some birds from species A cross to a second island.
The two populations no longer share a gene pool.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Changes in the Gene PoolSeed sizes on the second island favor birds with large beaks.
The population on the second island evolves into population B, with larger beaks.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Reproductive Isolation• If population B birds cross back to the first island, they will not mate with birds from population A.
• Populations A and B have become separate species.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
17-4 Patterns of Evolution
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Macroevolution
• Macroevolution refers to large-scale evolutionary patterns and processes that occur over long periods of time.
• Five important topics in macroevolution are:– extinction– adaptive radiation– convergent evolution– coevolution– gradualism & punctuated equilibrium
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
1) Extinction: when there are no longer any living members of a species. More than 99% of all species that have ever lived are now extinct!
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
• Mass Extinction = when large numbers of species disappear– Most scientists agree that most mass extinctions were
caused by several factors:• Volcanoes• Continental drift• Changing sea levels
• The result is the remaining species now have new niches (jobs) to fill, and may then thrive causing bursts of evolution that produces many new species.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
• 2) Adaptive Radiation = the process by which a single species or a small group of species evolves into several different forms that live in different ways. – Adaptive radiation is an example of divergent evolution. Adaptive radiation is the kind of divergent evolution when one species diverges into multiple, instead of just 2, species.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
3) Convergent Evolution: the process by which unrelated organisms come to resemble one another, due to living in similar environments.
– They develop structures that look and function similarly, but are made up of different parts = analogous structures.
– EX: A dolphin’s fluke and a fish’s tail fin are analogous structures.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
• 4) Coevolution = when organisms that are closely connected to one another by ecological interactions evolve together. The two species evolve in response to changes in each other over time.– Bees and the flowers that they pollinate
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
• 5) Gradualism and Punctuated Equilibrium• Evolution has often proceeded at different rates for
different organisms at different times during the history of life on Earth.
• 2 patterns of evolution:– * gradualism (Darwin’s theory)– * punctuated equilibrium
• Newer theory, still debated
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
• 5) Gradualism:• Darwin felt that biological change was slow and steady, an idea known as gradualism.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
5) Punctuated equilibrium is a pattern of evolution in which long stable periods are interrupted by brief periods of rapid change.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Punctuated equilibrium gradualism
