Across
- 4. this is a population growth pattern where a population rapidly increases in size because conditions are ideal like space and food
- 9. this sampling method is good for measuring populations that don't move like plants
- 10. this is the type of survivorship curve that describes humans and other large mammals that care for offspring much of thier life
- 11. these curves are 3 different models of different strategies used by popultions to grow in size.
- 13. _____ hundred was the carrying capacity for the rabbit population in the lab we did.
- 16. the bunny growth rate was ________ when they were under their carrying capacity.
- 17. Number of individulas/area (units squared)= population ________
- 19. this type of limiting factor can impact the population size regardless of its density. (weather, natural disasters, human activity)
- 20. these "factors" slow and can stop the growth of a population. there are 2 types
- 21. this formula will find the ______ rate of a population r= (b+i)-(d+e)
- 23. _________ and recapture is a method for measuring a population like fish.
Down
- 1. this type of limiting factor is when the population affects its own growth. the larger the population the greater the effect it will have on itself. (competition,predation,disease)
- 2. plants tend to have this dispersion because seeds are scattered by wind and water
- 3. when the carrying capacity is surpassed by a population the growth rate will become _______
- 5. this is the dispersion pattern for protection like a school of fish. It also could be for hunting like a pack of wolves
- 6. this type of survivorship is where the death rate of offspring is about the same through out thier entire life span. like small birds or rabbits
- 7. This is the maximum population size of a species that a particular environment can normally and consistently support in terms of resources. _____ capacity
- 8. these things affect the growth rate _______ rate, death rate, immigration and emigration
- 12. when the carrying capacity has not been reached by a population, the growth rate will be _______
- 14. this type of growth pattern starts exponential and then the growth rate reaches zero due to limiting factors (carrying capacity)
- 15. the bunny growth rate was ________ when they went beyond their carrying capacity
- 18. Population Dispersion pattern that results in territorial animals like nesting birds
- 21. would be a good device to track a pack of wolves or a wondering group of mountain lions.
- 22. This survivorship type would describe fish, plants and other organisms that have many many offspring every year and do not care for them
