Population Growth
Initial population growth in this type of growth is very rapid.
exponential growth
An average of 78 Norway maple trees per hectare demonstrates this.
population density
Flooding is an example of this kind of limiting factor.
density independent
This type of organism reproduces quickly and produces many offspring, like a mayfly.
What is an r-strategist?
This phase follows rapid growth in an exponential population.
lag phase
Any factor that affects a population regardless of its size is called this.
density-independent factor
Predation relationships are an example of this factor.
density-dependent
Unlike K-strategists, R-strategists often have this type of lifespan.
Short lifespan
When 20 gray squirrels leave a forest, this is occurring.
emigration
Predation relationships are an example of this factor.
density-dependent factor
A hurricane would be considered this type of limiting factor.
density independent
True/false: R-strategists have many offspring in one reproductive cycle
true
This happens to resources when a population nears carrying capacity.
resources become scarce
This type of dispersion pattern is not uniform or clumped.
Drought affects a population regardless of size, so it is this type of limiting factor.
density-independent
What type of reproductive strategy has high parental investment and little offspring?
Growth rate is inversely proportional to population size in this type of population growth.
logistic growth
A distribution pattern in which individuals in a population are grouped closely together in clusters is know as what?
Clumped dispersion
This term describes the maximum number of organisms an environment can support.
carrying capacity
Humans follow this type of reproduction strategy.
