PopulationGrowth PPSX

The document discusses population growth and survivorship curves. It describes 3 types of survivorship curves: Type I - few offspring, low infant mortality, parental care until old age (large mammals including humans); Type II - equal chance of living or dying throughout lifetime (birds, reptiles, small mammals); Type III - high infant mortality, many offspring, no parental care (invertebrates, fish, amphibians, plants). It also discusses factors that influence population size such as births, deaths, immigration and emigration. Exponential growth occurs in early population growth phases with abundant resources and little competition or predation, while logistic growth is limited by competition, predation, parasitism and illness. The document questions whether
