BIOLOGY 171 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Exponential Growth, Exponential Function
Document Summary
__f__ individuals never leave one population for another. When lambda is >1 the population is ______growing____ When lambda is =1 the population is ___________stable. When lambda is <1 the population is __________shrinking. R is the population"s growth rate at any particular instant in time. Discrete growth is growth over a certain period of time. When populations grow continuously without limit, see slides for exponential equation. The change in the number of individuals in the population per unit time. When r >0 then the population is growing. When b is as high as possible and d is as low as possible. The amount of individuals that an environment can support. Density dependent population growth, it characterized by the carrying capacity. Density independent population growth, it is independent of population size. List all the factors that can change and regulate population size.
