exponential population growth rate
Give this one a try later!
rmax*N
niche differentiation/resource partitioning
Give this one a try later!
-change in resource use due to competition
if the niches of 2 species don't completely overlap
density-dependent growth factors
, Give this one a try later!
-usually biotic
-function of population size
-intraspecific: food, water, sunlight, etc
-interspecific: disease, waste build up, predators
determining the effect of a species
Give this one a try later!
1. perturbation experiment- change abundance of one species and
measure consequences of another
2. comparative study - look for natural variation in numbers
ecological niche
Give this one a try later!
-the range of resources that the species is able to use/the range of
conditions it can tolerate (the way of life of a species)
altruism
Give this one a try later!
behavior that benefits recipient at a cost to the performer
