Test 4

-
life history
to predict if a population will grow or shrink, ecologists need to know birth and death rates for organisms at different ages as well as the current age and sex makeup of the population
-
population age structure - are there lots of young individuals? old individiuals? reproductive age individuals?
-
population survivorship patterns - does most mortality occur in the very young? the very old? or equally across all ages
age distribution
-
-
-
-
-
-
Ix(Fx)x = average number of offspring per capita at time x, weighted by age x

HW assumptions
microevolution
-
factors
-
natural selcetion
-
in the example, (triangle) has more vigorous offspring
over time, individuals with the 2 genotype are able to reproduce more and grow in numbers

mendelian genetics
three principles
-
segregation
alleles are segregated, seperated, from one another during meiosis
-
-
during meiosis, two members of a gene separate from each other
-
-
-
-
-
population genetics
gene pool
-
a population is a group of individuals of the same species that occupy the same region and can interbreed with each other
allele frequency
number of copies of an allele in a population divided by the total number of alleles for that gene in a population
genotype frequency
number of individuals with a particular genotype in a population divided by the total number of individuals in a population
Hardy-Weinberg equation
predicts an equilibrium-unchanging allele and genotype frequencies from generation to generation- if certain conditions exist in a population
species interactions
community
a group of actually or potentially interacting species living in the same location bound together by a shared environment and a network of influence each species has on the other
