Matching
Match the following terms with the most appropriate statement.
Premises:
model for population growth when resources are unlimited
development of penicillin
this describes a population that grows slowly at first and then increases rapidly until it reaches carrying capacity
death rate drops fast; birth rate declines slowly
pandemics are examples of this
short life span; many offspring; minimal care of young
use of fossil fuels began
elephants, humans, and dogs all fit into this model
long life spans, few offspring, extended care of young
a portion of a population to be studied
where humans first evolved
clams, insects, and many fish species fit into this model
describes where individuals in a population are relative to one another
a harsh winter is an example of this
given unlimited resources, what organisms will achieve
the number of organisms of a particular population in a given area
the number of individuals added during some interval divided by the initial population size
statistics that describe a population
the number of individuals in some specified area or volume of a habitat
factors that affect the growth of a population regardless of the number of individuals in that population
invention of agriculture
method for estimating numbers of mobile animals
vaccines became widespread in developed countries
the study of interactions among organisms, and between organisms and their environment
