5. Intro: Think About It
In the Everglades, Florida Panthers feed on the white-tailed deer population. Florida Panthers also require a large amount of space because they have large territorial zones and often roam hundreds of miles.
What are some limiting factors that affect the Florida Panthers?

Write only what is in RED

7. Input Three Key Features of Populations
Size: # of individuals in an area
Density: measurement of population per unit area
Dispersion: spacing relative to each other
(clumped, even/uniform, random)
Although several species may share a habitat they each have their own niche. A niche is a very narrow range where a species fits within a habitat.

8. Three Key Features of Populations
Size:
Growth Rate = Birth Rate (natality) - Death Rate (mortality)
How many individuals are born vs. how many die
Birth rate (b) − death rate (d) = rate of natural increase (r).
Although several species may share a habitat they each have their own niche. A niche is a very narrow range where a species fits within a habitat.

11. You decide!

12. 4 Factors that affect density
1. Immigration- movement of individuals into a population
2. Emigration- movement of individuals out of a population
1)Immigration: Moving in
2)Emigration: Moving out

13. 4 Factors that affect density
3. Density-dependent factors- Biotic factors that have an increasing effect as population size increases
  Ex. disease
competition
parasites

14. 4 Factors that affect density
4. Density-independent factors- Abiotic factors that affect populations regardless of their density
  Ex. temperature
storms
habitat destruction
drought

19. Other factors that affect population growth
Limiting factor- any factor that restricts the existence of organisms in an environment.
EX.- Amount of water
Amount of food
Temperature

20. Limiting Factor- Zone of Tolerance
Few organisms present
None
Few organisms present
None
Many organisms present
Although several species may share a habitat they each have their own niche. A niche is a very narrow range where a species fits within a habitat.

21. Other factors that affect population growth
Carrying Capacity- the maximum population size that can be supported by the available resources
There can only be as many organisms as the environmental resources can support
Although several species may share a habitat they each have their own niche. A niche is a very narrow range where a species fits within a habitat.

23. Growth
Exponential Growth: Increase in number or size, at a constantly growing rate (J shaped curve).
Logistic Growth: Levels off when the carrying capacity is reached (S shaped curve).

What should the x-axis be?
What should the y-axis be?
What should the scale of the y-axis be?
How should you plot the points?
What should the x-axis be? Time in years
What should the y-axis be? Number of panthers (right side) and Number of deers(left side).
What should the scale of the y-axis be? 600s deer, 50s panther.
How should you plot the points? Determine the (x, y) coordinate using the year (x) and the # of panthers (y) and placing a dot at that point 27
