Competition
100
The number of individuals (density = individuals/unit area)
What is abundance?
100
When the rate of a population growth increases as population density increases
What is the Allee effect
100
Population growth in which the population growth rates do not change in relation to the population size
What is density-independent population growth?
100
The maximum number of individuals an environment can support
What is the carrying capacity?
100
Competition between individuals of the same species
What is intraspecific competition?
200
Presence/absence
What is distribution?
200

A group of interbreeding individuals of a single species inhabiting a specific area at a particular time.

What is a population?
200
Population growth in which a demographic factor changes with density
What is density-dependent population growth?
200
The point on a sigmoidal curve at which the population has its highest growth rate
What is the inflection point?
200
Competition between individuals of different species
What is interspecific competition?
300
The total area covered by a species
What is geographic range?
300
Describe changes in abundance through time
What are population dynamics?
300
An abundance at which the population will remain if unperturbed
What is equilibrium?
300
K
What is the variable for carrying capacity?
300
Each species consumes a shared limiting resource, reducing the availability to other species
What is exploitation competition?
400
A species that is distributed over a large geographical range, but is not very abundant
What is cosmopolitan?
400
Population growth in ideal conditions (i.e. no competitors, unlimited resources, etc)
What is exponential population growth?
400
Equilibrium in which the population will regulate itself
What is stable equilibrium?
400
Anything an organism consumes or uses that causes in increase in population growth rate when it becomes more available
What are resources?
400
Law stating that a population will increase until the supply of the most limiting resource prevents it from increasing further
What is Leibig's law of the minimum?
500
A species that is only found in a single geographic location, but is very abundant
What is endemic?
500
The time required for a population to double in size 
What is doubling time?
500
Equilibrium in which a population, if perturbed, will either rapidly incline or decline
What is unstable equilibrium?
500
When individuals distribute themselves among different habitats in a way that allows them to have the same per capita benefit
What is ideal free distribution?
500
A species using a resource harms another species using the same resource, or restricts its access to the resource
What is interference competition?
