Characteristics of Populations
Demographics are characteristics of populations
Populations can be characterized by their: Population Size
Population Density
Population Distribution
Age structure
Reproductive base # Reproductive and younger

Age Structure Diagram U.S.
Zero growth:
#births = #deaths and #immigrate = #emigrate

Regarding Population Density:
The same area may be home to many species but they may vary by density
Density refers to the number of individuals in an area but not how they are dispersed
Population density variations are largely due to ecological relationships and organism interactions in an area

Population Size and Exponential Growth:
How population size changes
Size depends on births, immigration, deaths, emigration and migrations
Zero population growth is a near balance between all the positive and negative factors

Effects of Deaths on Populations

Regarding the Biotic Potential:
The biotic potential of a population is its maximum rate of increase under ideal conditions
Biotic potentials vary from species to species based on: What age reproduction begins How frequent reproduction is How many offspring are born at a time

Limits on the Growth of Populations:
The actual rate of growth depends on the environmental conditions
Limiting factors are collectively called environmental resistance and include: Nutrient supply Predation Competition for space Pollution Metabolic wastes

Limiting Factors on Growth
The sustainable supply of resources defines the carrying capacity for a population in an environment
The capacity can vary over time
Note the S shaped logistic growth

Density - Dependent Controls:
The main controls are: Competition for resources
Predation
Parasitism
Disease
They exert their effects in proportion to the number of individuals present
Density - dependent factors
Events resulting in more deaths
Fewer births

Density Independent Factors:Some events such as weather tend
to increase the death rate without respect to the number of individuals present
Lightning, floods, snowstorms affect both large and small populations!

Life History Patterns:Life Tables
Demography is the study of the age-specific patterns of particular populations
Life tables follow the fate of a group (cohort) and calculate survivorship schedules
