100

Reach sexual maturity quickly

r-selected

100

Light

Independent

100

IMF

Infant Mortality Rate

100

This type of offspring will live for a long period of time than eventually they will start to die off.

Type I species

100

This is the number of individuals in a population that inhabit a certain unit of land or water area.

population density

100

This stage has equal CBR and CDR, and low life expectancy

Stage 2 or Industrializing/Transitional

100

This is the movement of people out of a population.

Emigration

200

Tend to be invasive

r-selected

200

Hurricane

Independent

200

CBR

Crude Birth Rate

200

These offspring die young, but if they live to a certain age, they will live a longer life.

Type III

200

The time it takes for a population to double can be approximated by dividing this by the current growth rate of the population.

Rule of 70

200

This stage has equal CBR and CDR, and low life expectancy

Stage 1 or Pre-Industrial

200

sharp decrease in pop. size when resource depletion leads to many individuals dying

die-off

300

Fewer offspring

K-selected

300

Predation

Density Dependent

300

CDR

Crude Death Rate

300

This type of offspring has a 50-50 chance of surviving to old age.

Type II

300

This is how individuals of a population are spaced within a region.

population dispersion

300

CBR decreases and stable growth occurs during this stage

Stage 3 or Industrialized

300

If your population is growing at 2% it will take how many years for your population to double.

70/2 = 35 years

400

High level of parental care

K-selected

400

Disease

Dependent

400

TFR

Total Fertility Rate

400

Name 2 Type II species. 

birds or squirrels

400

This is the maximum number of individuals an ecosystem can support

carrying capacity

400

This stage has more elderly people and the government may encourage immigration or incentives to have more children.

Stage 4 or Post-Industrial

400

This is the number of children a woman in a given population will bear during her lifetime. 

Total fertility rate

500

Name an r-selected species and a K-selected species

r- insects, turtles, fish

K-any mammal

500

Competition

Dependent

500

RNI (r)

Rate of natural increase

500

This a line that shows the survival rate of a cohort.

Survivorship Curve

500

A population curve line at the top of the graph demonstrates this limit, and any population that exceeds it will go into this.

Overshoot

500

This is the average TFR replacement level

2.1

500

What is the formula to calculate population change?

(Births + Immigration) - (Deaths + Emigration)
