Population

A group of the same type of organisms that live in the same place at the same time.

Population Density

How densely populated organisms are in a certain area.

Population Model

Type of mathematical model used to study population dynamics.

Carrying Capacity

The number of living organisms an environment can support without environmental degradation.

Logistic Model

A statistical model that shows risk as a function of exposure to a risk factor.

r-strategist

A type of organism in which their reproductive strategy is to go for quantity over quality; they try and make as much offspring as possible and not a lot of time put into them. These organisms tend to mature fast and live short lives.

Population Size

The amount of population in an area.

Dispersion

How organisms gather in an ecosystem; whether it is a uniform fashion or random.

Exponential Growth Curve

A type of growth in which the rate is proportional to the increasing number in size in an exponential growth function.

Density Dependent Factor

Factors where the effects on the size or growth of a population vary with the density of the population itself.

Density Independent Factor

Any factor limiting the size of a population whose effect is not independent on the number of individuals in the population.

k-strategist

A type of organism that goes for quality over quantity in reproduction; they focus on raising their offspring to prosper, and don't have many offspring. These organisms tend to live longer as well, and take longer to mature.
