Document Summary
2-10-16 (you missed lecture last friday and monday) (picture on phone of uniform, random, and clumped) -dispersion: the pattern of distribution of individuals within a population. Clumped (aggregated: more complex with modular organisms. -consists of an internode (a region of stem between 2 leaves), leaf, and axillary bud (tissue where the leaf meets the stem) Some animals (e. g. , hydroids) are modular: biomass per unit area or volume. B is number of births and d is number of deaths and i is number of immigrants and. E is number of emigrants: measuring density, absolute density, quadrat methods. Calculate mean number of individuals per sampling plot. Divide mean by area of a plot to get estimate of density. Critical assumption: plots are representative of population as a whole: line transects (a transect is a course through a population in which one walks in a line.
