Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

Ecology Chapter 12

front 1

Why is understanding the demography of species useful?

back 1

It allows us to predict future population growth and decline of species.

front 2

What is the difference between the exponential growth model and the geometric growth model?

back 2

A model of continuous exponential growth vs comparing population sizes at regular intervals

front 3

What are density-independent factors? Give two examples.

back 3

Factors that limit population size regardless of how dense the population is.

  • floods
  • tornados
  • fires
  • extreme temperatures
  • droughts

front 4

What are density-dependant factors?

back 4

Factors limiting population size that are connected to the population's size.

front 5

What is positive density dependence? What are its other names?

back 5

Also called inverse density dependence or the Allee effect, the rate of population growth increases as population density increases.

front 6

What is negative density dependence? Give two examples.

back 6

As the rate of population growth decreases the population density increases.

  • food
  • space
  • nesting sites

front 7

What is carrying capacity?

back 7

The maximum population size that can be supported by the environment.
