Document Summary
Bio 208 lecture 18 monday, february 26, 2018. Know this stuff: ecological definition of disease, what disease-causing agents are, horizontal vs vertical transmission, direct vs indirect transmission, compartmental models, showing how diseases spread and modelling populations in that way, the equation to model populations. Two kinds of competition: actually four, but first set of categories. Intraspecific: between individuals of the same species: maybe from the same population, and maybe not, but of the same species, happens when there"s resource limitation, resource limitation: limited supply of food, space, mates, etc, leads to: Evidence for interference competition in natural systems: song sparrow territories. The lotka-volterra model: created to see what happened to marine fish populations because they weren"t coming back, created by lotka, later expanded on by volterra. Population size equation species one: size of the first species depicted on the x axis, population sizes between the two always want to lie on the line when talking about the.
