Population |
The specified extent or degree to which an area is or has been populated."areas of sparse population" |
|
|
Population Density |
A measurement of population per unit area or unit volume
|
|
|
Population Model |
A population model is a type of mathematical model that is applied to the study of population dynamics.
|
|
|
Carrying Capacity |
The carrying capacity of a biological species in an environment is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given the food, habitat, water, and other necessities available in the environment.

|
Logistic Model |
In statistics, logistic regression, or logit regression, or logit model is a regression model where the dependent variable (DV) is categorical. This article covers the case of binary dependent variables—that is, where it can take only two values, such as pass/fail or win/lose.

|
|
Dispersion |

|
Density Dependent Factor |
Any factor limiting the size of a population whose effect is dependent on the number of individuals in the population.
|
|
|
Density Independent Factor |
Any factor limiting the size of a population whose effect is not dependent on the number of individuals in the population.
|
|
|
K-Strategist |
Species that produce few "expensive" offspring and live in stable environments.
