Numerical response by predators
Give this one a try later!
changes in the predator population size in response to changes in prey
density
,What is a life table and how are life tables related to survivorship and survivorship
curves?
Give this one a try later!
demographic tool that summarizes the survival and reproductive rates of a
population at various ages, used to calculate survivorship which indicates
the proportion of individuals surviving at each age interval
Population size
Give this one a try later!
small population size may indicate limited resources or unfavorable
conditions that restrict a species' ability to thrive
Breeding dispersal
Give this one a try later!
movement of individuals from one breeding site to another
What is maximum sustained yield, and how is it related to logistic population growth?
Give this one a try later!
, determine the largest yield (or catch) that can be taken from a specific fish
stock over an indefinite period
What is environmental resistance?
Give this one a try later!
the combined effects of all factors that limit population growth including
predation, disease, competition, resource limitation
What ratio do animals attempt to optimize/maximize during foraging?
Give this one a try later!
Predators evolve to optimize their energy intake per unit time
Niche breadth
Give this one a try later!
the range of resources or environmental conditions that a species can
utilize
What is root:shoot ratio and what factors can alter it?
