    Topic 19 Populations

    A population is a group of organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time. Factors like food supply, predation, competition, and disease affect population size and growth rates by limiting resources. Population structure can be shown using population pyramids, which display the distribution of individuals by age and sex. Different pyramid shapes represent growing, declining, and stable populations, providing insight into factors influencing changes over time like birth rates, death rates, and environmental carrying capacity.

    A group of organisms of the same


    species living in the same area at
    the same time.

    Population Structure

    • The population structure of a country is how it is made up of people of


    different ages, and of males and females.
    • The common method to show the structure is by a population
    pyramid. This diagram is made up by putting two bar graphs (one for
    male, one for female) side by side.
    • From this you can read off what percentage of a population is of a
    certain gender and age range.
    Population Pyramid

    • Population or age/sex pyramid shows the distribution of


    individuals in a population
    • What information can you determine from these pyramids?
    • RECOGNISE AND INTERPRET POPULATION GRAPHS

    1. What are the main differences between these populations?


    2. How may these differences be accounted for?
    • RECOGNISE AND INTERPRET POPULATION GRAPHS

    1. Why are the graphs changing over time?


    2. What is happening to the population?
    3. Suggest some possible reasons for this.
    • RECOGNISE AND INTERPRET POPULATION GRAPHS

    Sigmoid graph showing population 1. Lag phase:


    growth in a limited resource environment. Low numbers of breeders.
    Birth > Death.

    2. Exponential (Log) phase:


    Rapid increase in growth rate.
    3.
    Birth >> death.
    NUMBERS OF INDIVIDUALS

    3. Stationary phase:
    Population remains constant due
    4. to limiting factor(s) ; environment
    2. at carrying capacity.
    Birth = Death.

    4. Death phase:
    Environment unable to support
    1. population.
    Birth < Death
