Population: a group of organisms of the same species that live together in one place at one time and interbreed.
Population growth is important because populations of different species (including humans) interact in communities

Populations can be described 3 ways;Populations can be described 3 ways;
Size Total number of individuals
Density # individuals per unit Area
Dispersion Arrangement in space
Even, clumped, random

Population growth depends on 4 factors:
Population growth depends on 4 factors:
1. Births
2. Deaths
3. Immigration (movement of individuals into a population)
4. Emigration (movement of individuals out of a population)

Biotic PotentialBiotic Potential
Fastest rate at which a population can grow…depends on …
reproductive potential --- The maximum number of offspring that each member can produce

Reproductive potentialReproductive potential
Varies widely: flies vs. whales
Higher when individuals Produce more offspring at a time Reproduce more often Reproduce earlier in life
Greatest effect because it shortens generation time
