Define what a population is and describe the primary factors that affect population density.


Population: A localized group of individuals that belong to the same biological species (that
are capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring).


Density Dependent and Density Independent factors affect population density.


Density Dependent: birth rate or death rate that does change with population density
- competition for resources: in crowded populations, increasing population density
intensifies competition for declining nutrients, resulting in a lower birth rate
- territoriality: becomes resource for which individuals compete, presence of surplus or
non-breeding individuals is a good indication that territoriality is restricting population
growth
- disease: transmission rate of a particular disease can depend on a certain level of crowding
in a population
- predation: predators encounter and capture more food as population density of prey
increases
- toxic wastes: accumulation of metabolic by-products as the population grows poisons the
organisms
