Definition
spatial arrangement of organisms in an area |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
population of organisms spaced arbitrarily w/ no organization or intention (free-floating larvae); least common arrangement |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
spaced evenly from one another; common w/ limited resources or territorial animals (wolves) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
most common distr bc they clump around a necessary resource; herds |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
# of individuals in a pop/area unit^2; high = high competition; low = decrease in chances of finding a mate |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
# of organisms in each range of a population; shows if pop is stabilizing/growing/declining |

Definition
all limiting factors acting on the pop |
|
|
Term
density-dependent limiting factors |
|
Definition
rely on the density of a pop |
|
|
Term
density-independent limiting factors |
|
Definition
don't depend on density of a pop to limit things |
|

Term
|
Definition
High DR/BR bc poor medical care, high disease, starvation; pop stable |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
DR starts to decline bc of medicinal advancements & better food production; BR stays high; pop inc |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
BR stabilize bc people work outside home (not farming); DR stay stable; pop growth slows; birth control more common |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
BR & DR low and stable; stabilize/small decline in pop |
