Populations and Life Cycles
![Page 2: Populations and Life Cycles. What is a population? Population – a group of the same species that occupies the same geographical space](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2bf50/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What is a population? Population – a group of the same species
that occupies the same geographical space
![Page 3: Populations and Life Cycles. What is a population? Population – a group of the same species that occupies the same geographical space](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2bf50/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is a community? Community- a group
of interacting populations occupying the same area
![Page 4: Populations and Life Cycles. What is a population? Population – a group of the same species that occupies the same geographical space](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2bf50/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How do populations grow?1. Linear Growth
- population grows by set increments (for example 2 feet per year)

time

How do populations grow?2. Exponential Growth (J Curve)
- Doubling of population by each time increment

Where is the…
Lag Phase?
Exponential Phase?
What is biotic potential?
![Page 6: Populations and Life Cycles. What is a population? Population – a group of the same species that occupies the same geographical space](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2bf50/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How do populations grow?3. Logistic Growth Curve (S-Curve)
- the population grows exponentially up to a point, then levels off due to resource availability
Where is the…
Lag Phase?
Exponential Phase?
Stationary Phase?
What is the carrying capacity?
![Page 7: Populations and Life Cycles. What is a population? Population – a group of the same species that occupies the same geographical space](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2bf50/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
So…how do populations actually grow?
BIDE Model
(Births + Immigration) – (Deaths + Emigration) =
Example: A population of chimpanzees has 150 births a year and 10 immigrants per year. During the same year 25 chimpanzees died and 15 left the population. Is this population growing or declining?
(150 + 10) – (25 +15) = +120 chimpanzees
Population Growth or Decline
![Page 8: Populations and Life Cycles. What is a population? Population – a group of the same species that occupies the same geographical space](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2bf50/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Terms to know when talking about populations Biotic factors – A factor created by a
living thing or any living component within an environment that effects the action of another organism, for example a predator consuming its prey.
Abiotic factors – A factor that is non-living in an environment that effects the action of another organism, for example rain or soil
![Page 9: Populations and Life Cycles. What is a population? Population – a group of the same species that occupies the same geographical space](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2bf50/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Nt+1 = R x Nt
Nt = number individuals nowNt+1 = number of individuals next yearwhere R is the finite rate of increaseIf R > 1 the population growsIf R < 1 the population declines
A More Sophisticated Look: Exponential growth
In problems you may be asked to figure out what R is.
The general equation is R = 1 (+/-) ___ % (in decimal form)
You would use a + sign when the population is increasing
You would use a – sign when the population is declining
![Page 10: Populations and Life Cycles. What is a population? Population – a group of the same species that occupies the same geographical space](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2bf50/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Examples of the Exponential Growth Model Example 1: A population of humans has 50
individuals. If the rate of increase is 4% (R = 1 + .04), what will the population be next year?
Nt+1 = 50 x 1.0452 people next year!
Example 2: A population of lemmings is currently at 100. If the rate of decline is 15% (so R = 1 - .15) in the current year, how many will be present next year in the population?
Nt+1 = 100 X .8585 lemmings next year!
![Page 11: Populations and Life Cycles. What is a population? Population – a group of the same species that occupies the same geographical space](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2bf50/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What factors influence population growth?• Density Independent
Factors - abiotic factors that effect each member of the population, no matter how many are present
•Density Dependent Factors - biotic factors that influence population size that is influenced by the number of individuals
![Page 12: Populations and Life Cycles. What is a population? Population – a group of the same species that occupies the same geographical space](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2bf50/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
One other factor that has not been accounted for….
Assumption for exponential growth model was that all individuals are equal.
That is, the population is unstructured
Is the human population unstructured??

Most organisms have structured populations
![Page 14: Populations and Life Cycles. What is a population? Population – a group of the same species that occupies the same geographical space](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2bf50/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Stage and Size predict survival and fecundity
Plants- seed, seedling, adult
Invertebrates- number of molts, larva-pupa-adult
Amphibians- egg-tadpole-adult
Birds- egg-chick-adult
Mammals- newborn, juvenile, adult

Pattern to multiply by: Each number in the column labeled “1” must be multiplied by the number beside the letter “A”. Each number in the column labeled “2” must be multiplied by the number beside the letter “B”. Repeat for column “3”. All rows must be added at the end.

Explore effects of management
Turning over the seed bank = reduce number of seeds present
Spray rosettes with herbicide = reduce rosettes (R) by some amount
Pull adults = Reduce adults (A) by some amount

Managing Only Rosettes
Look at the end of the graph. Why does killing rosettes increase the total number? What information are we missing?
