Populations Presentation Transcript

Slide 1 - POPULATIONS
Slide 2 - POPULATIONS Population-all of the individuals of a species that live together in one place at one time. Demography-the statistical study of populations. It is used to predict how the size of a population will change.
Slide 3 - KEY FEATURES OF POPULATIONS 1. Population size – is the number of individuals in a population. – has an important effect on the ability of the population to survive. A small population is more likely to become extinct: -in the case of random events or natural disaster -due to inbreeding where the population is more genetically alike. Recessive traits are more likely to appear. -with reduced variability it is harder to adapt to changes.
Slide 4 - KEY FEATURES OF POPULATIONS, con’t 2. Population density – the number of individuals in a given area. – if they are too far apart they may only rarely encounter one another resulting in little reproduction.
Slide 5 - KEY FEATURES OF POPULATIONS, con’t Population size is limited by: density-dependent factors Disease Competition Predators Parasites Food Crowding The greater the population, the greater effect these factors have. Ex. Black plague in the Middle Ages – more deaths in cities density-independent factors Volcanic eruptions Temperature Storms Floods Drought Chemical pesticides Major habitat disruption (as in the New Orleans flooding) Most are abiotic factors
Slide 6 - KEY FEATURES OF POPULATIONS, con’t 3. Dispersion – the way in which the individuals are arranged. Most common
Slide 7 - PREDICTING POPULATION GROWTH Model: A hypothetical population that has key characteristics of the real population being studied. Used by demographers to predict how a population will grow.
Slide 8 - PREDICTING POPULATION GROWTH, con’t Nearly all populations will tend to grow exponentially as long as there are resources available. Two of the most basic factors that affect the rate of population growth are the birth rate, and the death rate. r(rate of growth)=birth rate – death rate
Slide 9 - PREDICTING POPULATION GROWTH, con’t Exponential growth curve: population growth plotted against time. As a population gets larger, it also grows at a faster rate. This is the maximum population growth under ideal circumstances. Includes plenty of room for each member, unlimited resources (food, water) and no hindrances (predators). FACT: No population exhibits this type of growth for long.
Slide 10 - PREDICTING POPULATION GROWTH, con’t Logistic model: This model accounts for the declining resources available to populations as they grow. It assumes the birth and death rates are not constant. As the population grows, births decline and death rises. Eventually birth=death so the population stops growing. Carrying capacity (K): The number of organisms of one species that an environment can support indefinitely.
Slide 11 - PREDICTING POPULATION GROWTH, con’t Two modes of population growth. The Exponential curve (also known as a J-curve) occurs when there is no limit to population size. The Logistic curve (also known as an S-curve) shows the effect of a limiting factor (in this case the carrying capacity of the environment).
Slide 12 - POPULATION GROWTH STRATEGIES There are 2 ways a population can prosper: Depends on the rate of growth (r) Influenced by the carrying capacity (K)
Slide 13 - POPULATION GROWTH STRATEGIES, con’t r-strategists: characterized by exponential growth, which results in temporarily large populations, followed by sudden crashes in population size. Ex. Insects, bacteria, some plants live in unpredictable and rapidly changing environments Reproduce quickly when conditions are favorable Many offspring: small, mature rapidly, no parental care r = rate of growth
Slide 14 - POPULATION GROWTH STRATEGIES, con’t K-strategists: characterized by a high degree of specialization. Ex. Trees, whales, tigers, etc. Live in stable and predictable environments Can compete effectively Reproduce late in life Few offspring: large, mature slowly, often much parental care K = carrying capacity
Slide 15 - POPULATION GROWTH STRATEGIES, con’t Human Populations: K- strategist characteristics In recent times however, man has learned to expand the carrying capacity of his environment by increasing food supply, combating pests and curing diseases. Can Earth support this increase? Damage to the planet will eventually reduce the carrying capacity for humanity and slow the growth of the human population.
Slide 16 - HOW POPULATIONS EVOLVE Charles Darwin: Natural selection causes biological diversity. Modern version: Populations contain individuals with different versions of genes called alleles. Alleles that improve the chances of survival and reproduction are favored and become more common. Changes are caused by mutations in DNA.
Slide 17 - Hardy-Weinberg Principle In 1908 G.H. Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg showed that dominant alleles do not replace recessive ones. The Hardy-Weinberg Principle states: populations do not change unless evolutionary forces act upon them.
Slide 18 - Hardy-Weinberg Principle Background Information Recall, it is at the population level that evolution occurs. A population is a group of individuals of the same species in a given area whose members can interbreed. Because the individuals of a population can interbreed, they share a common group of genes known as the gene pool. Each gene pool contains all the alleles for all the traits of all the population. For evolution to occur in real populations, some of the gene frequencies must change with time. The gene frequency of an allele is the number of times an allele for a particular trait occurs compared to the total number of alleles for that trait. Gene frequency = the number of a specific type of allele / the total number of alleles in the gene pool
Slide 19 - Hardy-Weinberg Principle, con’t An important way of discovering why real populations change with time is to construct a model of a population that does not change. This is just what Hardy and Weinberg did. Their principle describes a hypothetical situation in which there is no change in the gene pool (frequencies of alleles), hence no evolution.
Slide 20 - Hardy-Weinberg Principle, con’t The frequencies of the alleles will remain unchanged generation after generation if the following conditions are met: 1. Large population. The population must be large to minimize random sampling errors. Genetic drift, the random change in allele frequency in a population, can cause great change in small populations. 2. Random mating. There is no mating preference. 3. No mutation. The alleles must not change. 4. No migration. Exchange of genes between the population and another population (gene flow) must not occur. 5. No natural selection. Natural selection must not favor any particular individual. Natural selection is the process by which populations change in response to their environment.
Slide 21 - Natural Selection Shapes Populations Natural selection is a powerful agent of genetic change. HOWEVER: there are limits to what it can accomplish because selection does not act directly on genes. Natural selection acts on phenotype, NOT geneotype. THEREFORE: selection against unfavorable recessive alleles is SLOW.
Slide 22 - Natural Selection Shapes Populations, con’t Polygenic trait: A characteristic influenced by several genes. There are three types of selection on polygenic traits. 1. directional 2. stabilizing 3. disruptive
Slide 23 - Natural Selection Shapes Populations, con’t NATURAL SELECTION DIRECTIONAL SELECTION STABILIZING SELECTION DISRUPTIVE SELECTION Favors one extreme phenotype Favors the average phenotype Favors both extreme phenotypes Possible reason: Predators can identify easier and eat the average type organism
