Population Growth Chapter 19
Population Growth � 1950’s – fish farmer introduced hydrilla into a canal in Florida. � Out of control growth! https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v =TDBBUAIDQeo
Geographic Range � The area inhabited by a population is called its geographic range.
Population Density � Population density refers to the number of individuals per unit area.
Population Distribution � Distribution refers to how individuals in a population are spaced out across the range of the population— randomly, uniformly, or mostly concentrated in clumps.
Growth Rate �A population’s growth rate determines whether the population size increases, decreases, or stays the same.
Population Growth � A population will increase or decrease in size depending on how many individuals are added to it or removed from it.
Birthrate and Deathrate � A population can grow when its birthrate is higher than its death rate. � If the birthrate equals the death rate, the population may stay the same size. � If the death rate is greater than the birthrate, the population is likely to shrink.
Which of the following is NOT one of the factors that play a role in population growth rate? a. b. c. d. immigration death rate emigration demography
The movement of organisms into a range is called a. b. c. d. immigration. emigration. population shift. carrying capacity.
Which of the following could describe a population that is decreasing in size? A) The birthrate and the death rate remain the same. B) The death rate is becoming lower than the birthrate. C) The death rate is constant and the birthrate is increasing D) The death rate is becoming higher than the birthrate.
Exponential Growth �Under ideal conditions with unlimited resources, a population will grow exponentially. �In exponential growth, the larger a population gets, the faster it grows.
Exponential Growth � If you plot the size of this population on a graph over time, you get a J-shaped curve that rises slowly at first, and then rises faster and faster.
Logistic Growth �Logistic growth occurs when a population’s growth slows and then stops (most populations experience this type of growth) � follows a period of exponential growth.
3 Phases of Population Growth
Carrying Capacity � Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals of a particular species that a particular environment can support.
The graph in Figure 5– 1 shows the growth of a bacterial population. Which of the following correctly describes the growth curve? A) logistic B) limiting C) demographic D) exponential
Suppose that a species of toads is introduced into a new environment in an attempt to reduce the population of insects. The toad has no natural predators in the new environment. The toad population would most likely A) B) C) D) increase exponentially. increase logistically. decrease rapidly and die out. remain the same.
If a population grows larger than the carrying capacity of the environment, which of these is most likely to happen? A) B) C) D) The death rate may rise. The birthrate may rise. The death rate must fall. The birthrate must fall.
Limiting Factors � A limiting factor is a factor that controls the growth of a population. � Some depend on population density and others do not.
Density Dependent Factors � Density-dependent limiting factors include competition, predation, herbivory, parasitism, disease, and stress from overcrowding.
Competition � When populations become crowded, individuals compete for food, water, space, sunlight, and other essentials.
Competition � Competition is a density -dependent limiting factor. The more individuals living in an area, the sooner they use up the available resources.
Predation and Herbivory �The effects of predators on prey and the effects of herbivores on plants are two very important densitydependent population controls.
Predator Prey Relationships � This graph shows the fluctuations in wolf and moose populations on Isle Royale over the years.
Herbivore Effects �Herbivory can also contribute to changes in population numbers. �From a plant’s perspective, herbivores are predators.
Humans as Predators �In some situations, human activity limits populations. �Fishing fleets have raised cod death rates so high that birthrates cannot keep up. As a result, cod populations have been dropping.
Parasitism and Disease � Parasitism and disease are density-dependent effects, because the denser the host population, the more easily parasites can spread from one host to another.
Parasitism and Disease � This graph shows a sudden and dramatic drop in the wolf population of Isle Royale around 1980. � At this time, a viral disease of wolves, canine parvovirus (CPV), was accidentally introduced to the island.
Stress from Overcrowding �Overcrowding causes stress in populations � Lowers ability to fight disease � Causes some females to neglect or even eat their young
Density Independent Factors � Density-independent limiting factors affect all populations in similar ways, regardless of population size and density. � Unusual weather such as hurricanes, droughts, or floods, and natural disasters such as wildfires, can act as densityindependent limiting factors.
Each of the following is a densitydependent limiting factor EXCEPT A) competition. B) temperature. C) crowding. D) disease.
Which would be least likely to be affected by a density-dependent limiting factor? A) a small, scattered population B) a population with a high birthrate C) a large, dense population D) a population with a high immigration rate
Which of the following is a densityindependent limiting factor? A) earthquake B) disease C) emigration D) parasitism
Controlling Introduced Species �Hydrilla in its natural environment has natural predators, but in Florida they don’t exist. �Efforts have been made to control their population.
Controlling Introduced Species �The best means of control so far seems to be an imported fish called grass carp, which views hydrilla as an especially tasty treat. �Grass carp are not native to the United States. Only sterilized grass carp can be used to control hydrilla. https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=Za. Oe_p. BEg. SE
