Population Characteristics Population -Group of individuals inhabiting the same area simultaneously Natality and mortality Natality-Number of individuals added through reproduction Birth Rate(Humans born /1000) Mortality-Number of individuals removed via death Death Rate(Humans Died /1000)
Population Characteristics • Population - Group of individuals inhabiting the same area simultaneously. – Natality and Mortality Natality - Number of individuals added through reproduction. ¾ Birth Rate (Humans born / 1000) Mortality - Number of individuals removed via death. ¾ Death Rate (Humans Died / 1000)

These three human populations illustrate how the combined effects of births and deaths would change population size if birthrates and death rates were maintained for a five-year period

After a period of high mortality among the young the mortality rate is about equal fro all ages of adult birds.

Population Characteristics Sex Ratio- Age Distribution Sex Ratio- Relative number of males and females in a population Age Distribution-Number of individuals of each age in the population Greatly influences reproductive rate of a population
Population Characteristics • Sex Ratio - Age Distribution – Sex Ratio - Relative number of males and females in a population. – Age Distribution - Number of individuals of each age in the population. Greatly influences reproductive rate of a population
