Population Ecology
Across
- 6. members of a species exiting an area
- 7. members of a species living in the same place at the same time
- 9. population growth begins exponentially but then levels out at carrying capacity
- 12. members of the species are dispersed randomly
- 14. the arrangement of individuals in space
- 15. change in size over time
Down
- 1. members of the species lived grouped together
- 2. limiting factors that depend on how dense the population is (food, shelter, water)
- 3. members of the species moving into an area
- 4. control the growth of a population
- 5. the number per unit area or volume - how close together they are
- 8. members of the species lived equally spaced out
- 10. limiting factors that don't depend on how dense the population is (humans and natural disasters)
- 11. birth rate becomes equal to death rate / the amount of a species an area can hold
- 13. the growth rate becomes faster with each generation
