Document Summary

A group of individuals of a single species that occupy the same general area. Concerned with changes in population size and the factors that regulate populations over time. The number of individuals of a species per unit area or volume of the habitatex: the number of oak trees per square kilometer in a forest. The distribution of individuals in different age groups. Track survivorship, the chance of an individual in a given population surviving to various agesused to predict how long, on average, a person of a given age will live. A plot of the number of individuals still alive at each age in the maximum life span. The curve for the human population shows that most people survive to the older age intervals. *humans and many other large mammalsusually produce few offspring, but gives them good care to survive to maturity. *intermediate meaning individuals are no more vulnerable at one stage of the life cycle than another.
