Immigration

Populations moving into an area

New cards
2

Emigration

Populations leaving an area

New cards
3

Two factors causing an increase in population

Birth and immigration

New cards
4

Two factors, causing a decrease in population

Death and emigration

New cards
5

A stable population

B+I=D+E

New cards
6

Population growth

There is more birth and immigration than death and emigration

New cards
7

Population decline

There is more death and emigration than birth and immigration

New cards
8

Example of type 1 survivorship

Human

New cards
9

Example of type 2 survivorship

Rodents

New cards
10

Example of type 3 survivorship

Fish, insects, amphibians

New cards
11

Type 1

Shows decline in later stages of life

New cards
12

Type 2

Shows a steady decline throughout all life stages

New cards
13

Type 3

Shows decline in early stages of life

New cards
14

Type 2 and 3

Have less time to give offspring because their morality rate is low is early stages of life. This leads to a higher population of offspring

New cards
15

Most type 1 survivors take care of their offspring while ______ and ______ don’t

Type 2 and 3

New cards
16

Humans might now show type 1 survivorship when…

They don’t want to take care of their kids, might not have enough resources to sustain a human life, or when the death rate is very high

New cards
17

Lag phase

Phase of growth curve, when population is just beginning to colonize in an area.

New cards
18

Exponential growth curve

J- curve, population growth appears to contribute unchecked

New cards
19

Logistic growth curve

S-curve, keeps going up and down

New cards
20

Environmental resistance and pressure

Causes population growth to slow down

New cards
21

Carrying capacity

The steady population that an environment can sustain. Population size fluctuate around it. (Predators and weather conditions case this)

New cards
22

Causes of rapid growth in populations

Environmental resources, availability of partners, less diseases, less predators

New cards
23

Exponential growth

The phenomena of populations that double in size every generation

New cards
24

Environmental resistance

Causes growth rates to slow down until a stable and sustainable population size is reached. (Such as a shortage of environmental resources))
