Document Summary

Calculating pop . size at different time points. If you know how many individuals added / removed to the pop . Over a period of time 1- 1- + i. If we know avg . rate of reproduction and death per individual. D= per capita - rate of deaths. Biologists calculate pop . parameters cbirth /death rates ) per capita to compare parameters across populations of different sizes. Total pop . from 0 to . Total pop . can range from 0 to 1 calculating growth rate irl r : per capita growth rate / " intrinsic growth rate of pop . Estimating pop . size over multiple years ex . R won"t change no matter how big/ small pop . g(cid:15482) realistically expected to occur when pop . sizes are relatively small , unlimited resources. T = i to know formula ( don"t need.
