8.1 How Populations Change in Size

Describing Populations

1/29/16&

10&

What is a population? •  Population = A group of the same species

living in the same place at the same time •  Ex/ All of the wolves in Yellowstone

Which is a population?

1/29/16&

11&

Properties of Populations

• Populations may be described in terms of: – Size – Density – Dispersion

Population Size • Population Size = The total number of

individuals – Ex/ There are 400 wolves in Yellowstone

1/29/16&

12&

Which population size is bigger?

Population Density • Density = the number of individuals per

unit area or volume • Ex/ There are 0.3 wolves per square mile

1/29/16&

13&

Which population has greater density?

Population Dispersion • Dispersion = The arrangement of

individuals in a given space – Ex/ Wolves are found in clumped patterns because they travel in packs

1/29/16&

14&

Population Dispersion – Dispersion patters may be uniform (even), clumped, or random

Population Dispersion Types – Clumped = organisms group together for protection or resources

1/29/16&

15&

Population Dispersion Types Uniform = organisms are evenly spread out due to territoriality

Population Dispersion Types Random = no pattern

1/29/16&

16&

How Does a Population Grow?

1/29/16&

17&

Reproductive Potential Biotic Potential Reproductive Potential

The fastest rate at which a population

can grow

The maximum number of offspring each member can

produce

Reproductive Potential • A species’ biotic potential is limited by its

reproductive potential •  The greater the reproductive potential, the

greater the biotic potential • Ex/ A bacterium can produce 19 million

offspring within weeks, making its biotic potential very great

1/29/16&

18&

Pair-Share-Respond 1.  Define the term “population” 2.  What is the difference between population

density and dispersion? 3.  Identify three patterns of population

dispersion 4.  A flower’s pollen is spread by the wind.

What kind of dispersion pattern is this? 5.  Distinguish between the terms biotic

potential and reproductive potential.

8.1 How Populations Change in Size

1/29/16&

23&

Recall

What is a population? •  Population = A group of the same species living

in the same place at the same time •  Populations can be described in terms of their

overall size, density, and dispersion.

1/29/16&

24&

How Populations Grow

How do populations grow? •  Populations that grow rapidly can be

represented by an exponential growth model

1/29/16&

25&

How do populations grow? •  Exponential Growth = a period of time when a

population grows exponentially (increasingly faster) due to available resources

How do populations grow? •  Exponential growth can only occur when

resources such as food, space, and mates are plentiful . • When these resources become limited, growth

will slow or stop.

1/29/16&

26&

How do populations grow? • We can diagram

exponential growth by plotting population size over a period of time. •  Exponential

growth will resemble a “J-shape” curve.

Limitations to Population Growth

1/29/16&

27&

Limitations to Population Growth • Can a population continue to grow

indefinitely?

•  Populations cannot grow indefinitely •  Limited resources or environmental changes

can change growth patterns • According to natural selection, only some

members can survive and reproduce

1/29/16&

28&

Limitations to Population Growth • Carrying capacity = maximum population size

that can be supported by an ecosystem.

• As resources become limited, growth slows until carrying capacity is reached • At carrying capacity, birth rates = death rates

(no net growth or decrease)

1/29/16&

29&

Limitations to Population Growth • A population can fluctuate around the carrying

capacity, but resource limitations will maintain the population size

Limitations to Population Growth •  Limiting resource/factor = a natural resource

used or consumed by the population that limits its growth •  Ex/ The availability of prey

1/29/16&

30&

Limitations to Population Growth • Members of the same population must

compete with each other for resources •  Ex/ Plants compete with each other for light,

and wolves may compete for food/territory

Patterns of Population Change

1/29/16&

31&

Patterns of Population Change •  Population growth can decrease due to

limiting factors •  These factors may be density-dependent or

density-independent

Patterns of Population Change •  Limiting factors decrease population growth – Density-dependent limiting factors depend on the

population size.

1/29/16&

32&

Patterns of Population Change •  Limiting factors decrease population growth – Density-dependent LFs have a greater effect on

large, crowded populations – Examples: Competition, predation, parasitism,

disease

Patterns of Population Change •  Limiting factors decrease population growth – Density-independent LFs affect a population no

matter the size – Examples: Natural disasters, seasonal changes,

human activities, unusual weather

1/29/16&

33&

Pair-Share-Respond 1.  What is “exponential growth” and what

causes it? 2.  If you were to diagram exponential

growth, what would it look like? 3.  What is a population’s carrying capacity? 4.  What causes a population to reach its

carrying capacity? 5.  Distinguish between density-dependent

and density-independent limiting factors.
