Document Summary
Crash of reindeer population: winter weather extreme, not enough resources to overcome the winter (less food, less amount of fat, let survivability) Field study (when you go out and collect your data) Experiment (when you manipulate something): field experiment or laboratory. Scatter plot pattern: even if there is no linear relationship, there can still be a relationship (quadratic, Categorical data: color, sex, etc exponential, logarithmic, etc ) (cid:1372) jan. (cid:883)7. A , n , it depends on the rate of change of a and n. The denser a population, the easiest it is to transmit diseases. With trees, the higher the density, the smallest the diameter of the trees because of competition (cid:1372) jan. (cid:883)9. New population growth equation: it includes the fact that birth and death occur at a certain rate and are not static. * in geometric growth, the decreasing population rate is below 1, whereas in exponential growth the decreasing population rate is below 0.
