Population dynamics refers to how populations change over time. A population is a group of the same species occupying an area for a period. Population characteristics include density, spatial distribution, range, and reproduction patterns. Density-independent factors like weather affect populations regardless of size, while density-dependent factors like disease depend on population number. Birth rate, death rate, immigration, and emigration influence population change. Ecosystem stability relies on resistance to environmental changes and resilience in regaining function after disturbance. Species richness and keystone species promote stability.
It is as per the syllabus of M.Sc. NRM including detailed study of population ecology
It describes the meaning of population with respect to ecology and includes population attributes, dynamics, dispersal, Population growth models, survivorship curves and limitations.
It also entails factors that influence and regulate population growth on the basis of density.
Exponential growth: Resource (food and space) availability is
obviously essential for the unimpeded growth of a population.
Ideally, when resources in the habitat are unlimited, each species
has the ability to realise fully its innate potential to grow in number,
as Darwin observed while developing his theory of natural
selection.
Demography is the science involved with the study of biological population. It is also general science that can be suited to any kind of dynamic population study involving changes over time or space. It involves the study of the size, structure, and distribution of populations and spatial and or temporal changes in them in response to birth, death, migration and aging.
Characteristics of Population PPT covers all the types of Age Distribution Methods,Growth Rates,Population Density,Gender Ratio,Pattern of Distribution ,etc.
Basic carrying capacity presentation, with key definitions and examples. Data are always changing on carrying capacity estimates. This uses data that is about 8 years old, but it is useful if you explain this to your students from the start.
Individual
Population – same species, same time, same area
Community – all the different populations in an area
Ecosystem – all the different communities plus the abiotic factors in an area
Biosphere – all areas on Earth where life exists

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
1. POPULATION DYNAMICS
Population dynamics refers to how populations of a species change over
time.
A population is a group of individuals of the same species that
occupy a specific area over a certain period of time.
The different studies about population of organisms is known as
population ecology.
An ecologist is a scientist who studies how animals and plants
interact with their environment.
2. • Population density
• Spatial distribution patterns
• Population range
• Reproduction patterns
Population characteristics
5. Population density =
number of density
unit area
Computing for the population densities of organisms in previous slide.
Population B
Population density = 10 ducks
(4m) (2m)
= 10 ducks
8𝑚2
= 1.25 ducks
𝑚2
Population A
Population density = 20 ducks
(4m) (2m)
= 2.5 ducks
𝑚2
= low density
= high density
6. Spatial Distribution Pattern
Scientists classify dispersion patterns into 3 types:
1) Uniform dispersion
2) Clumped dispersion
3) Random dispersion
Dispersion – is the pattern of spacing among members of
population with in a specified area.
7. Types of dispersion patterns
1. Uniform Distribution
It maintain defined territories.
8. Types of dispersion patterns
2. Clumped Distribution
- is when individuals in a
population are clustered
together, creating some
patches with many individuals
and some patches with no
individuals.
9. Types of dispersion patterns
3. Random Distribution
- individuals are
distributed randomly,
without a predictable
pattern.
10. Other conditions can limit
population range such as:
• Amount of rainfall
• Sudden changes in
temperature
• Biotic factors like the
presence of predators and
competitors
Population Range
- the occupancy of some
species in a certain area.
11. Reproduction Patterns
Some organisms produce many, small-sized offspring all at once, with
little or no parental care or protection. This kind of reproductive strategy
found among:
• Bacteria
• Algae
• insects
Other organisms tend to produce a small number of offspring with fairly
long life spans.
Example – mammals produce their young inside their womb to give
their optimum protection. After birth, the offspring will be nourished
and protected until they can live on their own.
12.
13. LIMITING POPULATION GROWTH
Two categories or limiting factors
1. Density – independent factor
affect the population
regardless of its density. Usually
abiotic factor.
2. Density – dependent factor
- depend on the number of
members in a population. These
factors include exposure to
infectious diseases, predation
and competiton for food.
Limiting factors – any biotic and abiotic factor that restricts
the number of reproduction of organisms in an ecosystem.
14. All factors that limit
population size are
called environmental
resistance.
The number of
organisms that can be
supported by a given
environment refers to
its carrying capacity.
15. Population variables
• Birth rate
• Death rate
• Emigration
• immigration
Birth rate – refers to the number of individual births in a population in a
certain period of time.
Death rate – indicates the number or deaths in a certain population in a
given time.
If death rate is higher than
birth rate, population size
decreases.
If birth rate is higher than
death rate, population size
increases.
16. Immigration – refers to the movement of individual member of a
population into another group of population.
Emigration – happens when some members leave the group. For animals
a search for new food will cause them to migrate into a new home.
17. To compute the population change in an environment
Population change = (births + immigration ) – (deaths + emigration)
18. ECOSYSTEM STABILITY
An ecosystem is stable when it has the ability to maintain its
structure and function over long periods of time despite
disturbances.
To achieve stability, an ecosystem must fulfill two components:
1. Resistance – an ecosystem shows
resistance when its structure and
functions stay normal despite
changes in the environment.
2. Resilience – when it regain its
normal structure and function after
a disturbance.
19.
20. Species richness – the number of different species that thrive in an
area, is a measurable quantity used by scientist to predict the
stability of ecosystems.
Keystone species – certain types of organisms which perform unique
functions in the ecosystem.
Examples:
Sharks
Alligators
cats
