capture- recapture formula
N hat= new(n+1)/R
n
sample
N
population- number of individuals in a defined area
dN/dt
open population
change in population over time
birth+immigration-death-emmigration
dn/dt closed population
Nb-Nd or N(b-d)
capture recapture
n1(n2+10/n1
#originally captured*#of critters in 2nd sample/#marked in 2nd sample
Nt=lambda^t*N0
long term population projection
nx
number surviving
lx
proportion of original surviving
dx
proportion of origional cohort dying at each stage
mx
avg fecundity per survivor
qx

lxmx
proportion of origionl fecundity
lx-lx+1=
dx
Fx/nx=
mx

lambda= R=
Nt/N0
lambda is the net reproductive rate
r
intrinsic rate of natural increase(increase in pop size per unit of time)
r>0
pop is growing
r<0
pop is shrinking
lambda>1
population is growing
lambda<1
pop is shrinking
phylogenetics
the practice of reconstructing evolutionary relationships
systematics
study of biodiversity origins and relationships of organisms
taxonomy
the namiong and grouping of organisms
cladistics
a method of phylogenetics
taxon(taxa)
a group
clade
a branch and all of its members
willi Hennig
german entimologist- published phylogenetics called cladistics- it stated otganisms are related through descent,lineages split to form sister species,shared derived charecters outnumber convergent charecteristics
topology
where things are located compared to other things
plesiomorphic
ancestral characteristic
apomorphic
derived charecteristic , opposite of plesiomorphic
Dolb,s law/trend
once a complicated trait is lost it is unlikely to evolve twice
polytomy
a phylogenetic tree that canot be fully resolved
monophyly
a group containing a common ancestor and all decedents
paraphyly
not perfect phylogenetic tree, still work some what
polyphyly
different common ancestors
biological species concept
identifys populations as species if they cannot reproduce
ernst mayer
formulated biological species concept
evolutionary specie concept
independently evolving populations are considered species
Ed Willis
formulated the evolutionary species concept
phylogenetic species concept
populations that share unique synaptomorphys that no-one else has
evolutionary-phylogenetic species concept
combines the two major theory's
ramet
ecological individual
gemet
genetic individual
