Population and its

Characteristics

GE ELCTIVE 2: ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

Papulation

 a collection of organisms of a particular species, sharing a particular characteristics

of interest, most often that of living in a given area.
 It is also a group of similar living in a certain place at the same time.
 Considered as the major functional unit of ecosystem.

Examples are population of different plant and animals like

• Banana, eagle, monkey, dogs, cats, and even human population

• Social organization (pecking order) – animals
Characteristics of Population

1. Size

• Pertains to the number of individual in a population

• May change when individuals leave or enter the population
• Size of population may vary to what kind of organisms and place these organism
may be found or inhabited or live.
There are several factors that can affect the size of the population

 Emigration (number of species that leave the land)

 Immigration (number of species that enter the land)
 Natality (number of species that are born)
 Mortality (number of species that died)
2. Density

 Number of individuals of species living in a particular area of that

population
 Density increases when the factors are favorable to the population and
decreases when they are unfavorable
 It may vary from year to year and is determined by external factors such
as availability of space, heat, water, light, food, and of course predators
3. Distribution

 Another characteristics of population that tells how individual are located in

a particular area.
 The arrangement or how organisms belong in a population is organized
within a particular space.

(there are three ways that organisms can be distributed)

A. Random distribution

 There are no specific order in random distribution

 The organism is spread throughout the area without an overall pattern

Example:

Shrubs
B. Uniform Distribution

 The organisms are evenly distributed over an area.

Example:
Coconut Plantation
C. Clump Distribution

 The organisms are concentrated in an area

 It may offers the population protection from enemies

Examples:
