3. Updated Jan. 2005Created by C. Ippolito January, 2005 Chapter 5 Section 1 How Populations Grow What characteristics are used to describe a population? What factors affect population size? What are exponential and logistical growth? 2

4. Updated Jan. 2005Created by C. Ippolito January, 2005 Objectives 1.List the characteristics used to describe a population. 2.Identify the factors that affect population size. 3.Differentiate between exponential and logistic growth. 3

5. Updated Jan. 2005Created by C. Ippolito January, 2005 Characteristics of Population  Geographic Distribution (range) Is the area inhabited by a population  Population Density Is the number of individuals per unit area  Growth Rate Is how quickly a population increases its numbers  Age Structure How many individuals of different ages make up the population 4

6. Updated Jan. 2005Created by C. Ippolito January, 2005 Factors Affecting Population Growth  Birth Rate Populations grow when births outnumber deaths  Death Rate Populations shrink when deaths outnumber births  Immigration Individuals enter into population  Emigrations Individuals leave a population 5

7. Updated Jan. 2005Created by C. Ippolito January, 2005 Exponential Growth  Ideal conditions with unlimited resources. Individuals reproduce at a constant rate J-shaped graph 6

8. Updated Jan. 2005Created by C. Ippolito January, 2005 Logistical Growth  Growth slows or stops as resources become less available Changes in birth/death rates Immigration emigration S-shaped curve  Stable at Carrying Capacity 7

9. Updated Jan. 2005Created by C. Ippolito January, 2005 Population Growth can be represented bycharacterized by represented by which cause a Exponential growth Logistic growth Falling growth rate S-shaped curve Limits on growth No limits on growth J-shaped curve Constant growth rate Unlimited resources Section 5-1 Concept Map Go to Section: 8

11. Updated Jan. 2005Created by C. Ippolito January, 2005 Chapter 5 Section 2 Limits to Growth What factors limit population growth? How do density-dependent limiting factors differ from density-independent limiting factors? 10

12. Updated Jan. 2005Created by C. Ippolito January, 2005 Objectives 1.Identify the factors that limit population growth. 2.Differentiate between density- dependent and density-independent limiting factors. 11

13. Updated Jan. 2005Created by C. Ippolito January, 2005 Limiting Factors  Cause population growth to decrease 12 Population Size CompetitionPredationParasitismDisease Climate Extremes Human Disturbance

14. Updated Jan. 2005Created by C. Ippolito January, 2005 Density-Dependent Factors  Strongest when population large, dense Competition Predation Parasitism Disease 13

15. Updated Jan. 2005Created by C. Ippolito January, 2005 Density-Independent Factors  Affect all large and small populations in same way Human Activities  Clear cutting forests  Building projects Climactic Extremes  Droughts  Frosts 14
