Document Summary
Part of earth that consist all ecosystems: ecosystem. Populations that live together in a defined area: population. Group of organisms of one type that live in the same area. Pattern of spacing among individuals within the boundaries of the population. Ex: albatrosses; maintained by aggressive interactions between neighbors. Position of each individual is independent of other individuals. Ex: dandelions; grows from windblown seed that land and random at later germinate. Study of the vital statistics of population and how they change over time. Survivorship curves age specific summary of the reproductive rates in a population graphic way of representing the data in a life table. Type 2: random; some may reach at adulthood, v. versa. Type 3: at early age they die. Population density average number of individuals per unit of are or volume. Population distribution patten of where organism live. Population size number of individuals in population. Number of individuals per unit area or volume.
