genet (individual) |
Genetic individual (sexual reproduction) |
|
ramet (module) |
modules produced asexually by the genet ---ramets are clones (genetically identical modules) ---create a clonal colony |
|
population distribution |
a spatial boundary within which all individuals in the population reside |
|
ubiquitous |
widespread distribution of a species |
|
endemic |
restricted distribution ---endemic species may have a specialized habitat |
|
metapopulation |
collection of local subpopulations |
|
population density |
number of individuals per unit area ---crude density |
|
determining density requires sampling |
Mark-single recapture: N = nM/R (34 X 39)/15=88 A biologist captures and marks 39 rabbits from a population. Then, the biologist captures 15 marked rabbits and 19 unmarked ones--a total of 34 (n). The estimate population size, N, is calculated to be 88. |
|
individuals move within the population |
dispersal: the movement of individuals in space emigration: when individuals move out of a population immigration: when individuals move from one location into a subpopulation |
