As part of lab this week, you will test for pattern of distribution at small scales, where organisms may show random, regular, or clumped distribution. Clumped distributions are particularly interesting because they may emerge from a patchy distribution of underlying conditions or from mutual attraction within individuals. Let’s say that you observe several dense patches of jellyfish in Puget Sound. How could you tell whether these patches were caused by locally good conditions or because jellyfish benefit from being in a group?

True or false?

A) If jellyfish benefit from being in a group, then their density variance to mean ratio will decline over time

B) If jellyfish deplete locally good conditions, then their density variance to mean ratio will decline over time.

C) If jellyfish benefit from being in a group, then thinning a patch will improve the performance of remaining jellyfish.

D) If jellyfish occur in locally good conditions, then thinning a patch will improve the performance of remaining jellyfish.
The number of individuals in a given area, such as an acre or a square mile, is a measurement known as:

c. population distribution.
d. population density.
2. Individuals who live in social groups are usually found in a ________________ distribution.
a. patterned
b. clumped
c. uniform
d. random
3. Under what conditions might we see exponential population growth?
a. When the population is large and approaching carrying capacity
b. When there is a sudden influx of a new food source
c. When there are enough predators around to keep the population in check
d. When a population has exceeded carrying capacity
4. What kind of things might cause a population experiencing exponential growth to transition to logistic growth?
a. The loss of that population's main predator
b. The emergence of a new food source such as ripening fruit on a tree
c. More competition for food from other species in the area
d. All of these could spur the transition.
5. Which of the following is an example of a density-independent factor for population growth?
