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.

predicts an equilibrium-unchanging allele and genotype frequencies from generation to generation-if certain conditions exist in a population
1.No new mutations
- No genetic drift. The population is so large allele frequencies do not change due to random sampling effects
- No migration
- No natural selection
- Random mating
