Population Ecology

Front

Population density is the number of individuals

Back

per unit area.

Front

When the birthrate of a population exceeds its death rate, the population

Back

increases.

Front

An S-shaped curve on a graph of population growth is characteristic of: exponential growth, logistic growth, carrying capacity., delayed growth

Back

logistic growth

Front

Exponential growth in a population slows down or stops as

Back

resources become limited.

Front

Exponential growth rate means that each new generation of a population

Back

increases at the same rate as the previous generation.

Front

What factor describes when populations increase because animals are moving into a population?
