Question 1

a group of organism of the same species occupying a particular space a particular time

Answer 1

population

Question 2

a measure of population size/ number of individuals per unit area

Answer 2

density

Question 3

3 method assess population density

Answer 3

sessile organism: quadrat
mobile organism: capture-recapture method
sampling

Question 4

4 factor of population growth rate

Answer 4

mortality=death, natality=birth, immigration, emigration

Question 5

demographic techniques

Answer 5

life table
survivorship curve
static table
net reproduction rate/ Ro
intrinsic capacity for increase/ r

Question 5

3 steps calculate intrinsic capacity for increase/ r

Answer 5

net reproductive rate: survivorship, fertility
generation time: mean btw birth and birth of offspring
intrinsic capacity for increase

Question 6

r increase 3 situation

Answer 6

age at first reproduction decrease
number of progeny per reproductive event increase
number of reproductive event increase

Question 6

grow exponentially 3 situation

Answer 6

initial stage of colonization
condition favorable
recover from negative environment
