September 16th - Population Ecology 2

Hello, all. Today we continued on with the stuff we did yesterday. We looked at Carrying Capacity to get to the Logistic type of population growth, which is the more likely way pattern of growth in nature. Then, we looked at density dependent and density independent factors that limit growth, with examples for each. (Fishing for cod as an example of density independent and cyclic fox and rabbit population growths for examples of density dependent.)
