Introduction to Ecology (Population Ecology)

If the number of births in a population is the same as the number of deaths in a population, what will happen to the growth of the population?

• It will increase.
• It will decrease.
• It will stay the same.
• It will fluctuate.

When organisms move out of the population, this is known as

• emigration
• abandonment
• immigration
• succession

When a population grows past the ecosystem's carrying capacity, what happens to the population?
