a description of how many individuals fit into particular age categories

population growth slowed as population size increased because there was a limit to how many individuals the food supply could sustain

a type of relationship in which one species benefits but the other is neither harmed nor helped

incorporates all of the populations of organisms within a given area

the study of species interactions, which determine the survival of a species in a habitat

the struggle of individuals to obtain a limiting resource

states that two species competing for the same limiting resource cannot coexist

strips of habitat that connect separated populations that the animal travels across

influences an individuals probability of survival and reproduction in a manner that depends on the size of the population

have the same effect on an individuals probability of survival and amount of reproduction at any population size

population crash usually experienced after the overshoot of the carrying capacity

the predictable replacement of one group of species by another group of species over time

species that create or maintain habitat for other species

tells us that, under ideal conditions, the future size of the population depends on the current size of the population, the intrinsic rate of the population and the amount of time over which the population grow

the number of offspring an individual can produce in a given time period, minus the deaths of the individual or offsprings during the same period

consumes plants as prey

under ideal conditions with unlimited resources available, every population as a particular maximum potential for growth

a species that plays a role in its community

species that have a low intrinsic growth rate which causes their populations to increase slowly until they reach the carrying capacity of the environment

a resource that population cannot live without and which occurs in quantities lower than the population would require to increase in size
