LIFESCI 7B Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Population Ecology, Carbon Cycle, Goby
Document Summary
Greater the biomass on the bottom = greater energy that can be transferred. Population size can increase when resources are abundant, and individuals can alter their resource allocation budget grow in logistic manner. How could resource acquisition a ect allocation more photosynthesis. The more things, the more resources than can be acquired. The prinicple of allocation shaping life histories when there are lots of resources, the budget can increase. The population gained 20 individuals in 1 year = 20 individuals / year. Clicker the population starts with 80 individuals and grows to 100 after 1 year. What is the per capita growth rate? r = ( n/ t)/ni: 0. 25. Population growth carrying capacity: maximum number of individuals a habitat can support competition for limited resources increases as n approaches k. Clicker density independent -- population density doesn"t a ect growth growth rate stays the same end up with density increasing over time.
