Learning objectives:
Population growth factors
Types of growth
Factors controlling population growth rate
Carrying capacity
Demography
Human population growth
Factors influencing population growth
Births
Deaths
Immigration (individuals moving INTO the population)
Emigration (individuals moving OUT of the population)
How do I calculate change in the population size?
population change= (births + immigrants) - (deaths + emigration)
Exponential Population growth
Occurs under IDEAL conditions
resources are UNLIMITED
NO migration
How to calculate exponential growth

Density- dependent factors
Biotic Factors that slow population growth as density increases
These LIMIT POPULATION GROWTH by causing a DROP in birth rates and an INCREASE in death rates
Eventually, births=deaths and growth=0 a. The population size stabilizes b. This is the carrying capacity (K)!!
Logistic population growth

Examples of density-dependent factors
INTRAspecific: WITHIN a species, competition for limited resources (low food supply, limited space)
Predation
Disease
Demography
The statistical study of HUMAN populations
Population size (N)
Birth rate (b)
Death rate (d)
Age structure
Population Age structure
the distribution of age groups within a population
