Term
|
Definition
A species whos' population reproduces and grows quickly when environmental conditions are ideal for reproduction. *Short life-span, produce many offspring, reproduce early in life, mature quickly w/o the aid of their parents. |

Term
|
Definition
| The number of individuals in a population. |
|

Term
|
Definition
A species who's population growth is restricted by the population's carrying capacity. *Long life-span, slow to mature, reproduce few offspring later in life. |

Term
|
Definition
| A graph that shows different variable relationships of a population. |

Definition
The spacial organization between members of a population. The way they're spread out.. *One of three features affecting the future of a population. 1. Population Size 2. Population Density 3. Dispersion |

| Density-Dependent Resources |
|
Definition
[image] Resources that are affected by the density of a population. Dense populations will have scarce resources. |

|
Term
|
Definition
| The shifting of a normal distribution graph towards one of it's extremes due to a naturally selected polygenic phenotype. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When individuals mate with phenotypically similar individuals and these traits are consequentially selected. |

Term
| Density-Independent Resources |
|
Definition
Resources that are not affected by varying population densities. *Climate *Weather |

|
Term
|
Definition
| The statistical study of populations. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
When a random, often devistating event, reduces a populations' numbers of individuals and perhaps kills off a rare allele that might be advantageous. *An Evolutionary Force that affects the Hardy-Weinberg Principle (5) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The physical movement of individuals from one population to another which increases the variability of allele manifestations. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A population model that takes into account the affect of density-dependant resources. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The narrowing of a normal distribution curve that occurs when the extremes die off and the average polygenic trait is selected. |
