POPULATION DYNAMICS

Note Description

Population dynamics refers to the study of changes in the size, structure, and distribution of populations over time. It involves understanding factors that influence population growth, decline, or stability, such as birth and death rates, immigration and emigration, resource availability, predation, disease, and environmental conditions. Key concepts include carrying capacity (the maximum population size an environment can support), population density (individuals per unit area), growth rates (exponential, logistic), limiting factors (resources, predation), and demographic transitions (changes in population age structure).
