Population Ecology

012 - Population Ecology

In this video Paul Andersen explains how population ecology studies the density, distribution, size, sex ration, and age structure of populations. Intrinsic growth rate and exponential growth calculations are included along with a discussion of logistic growth. K-selected and r-selected species are explained along with survivorship curves.

I don't comment too often, but thank you Mr. Anderson. People and educators like you help the world so much, and just having one good teacher ins something can provide a spark of interest in a topic for many students. Almost anyone can have a great teacher in their lives thanks to someone like you and it's just great. thanks

Excellent run down on all of the concepts that I teach for Population Ecology for my year 10s and year 12s! I love how you just get to the point and tie everything together so well!

Last minute cramming for a bio final and this was so useful!

I'd lke to transfer my professors salary, house, and car to this man.

Who else had to read this for science class?

[walruswithebola]

My AP bio teacher is clueless and legitimately doesn't understand a lot of material she gives us, so a friend of mine who had the class recommended me to you. I am now more confident in getting an A, thank you sir.

10:17 people die at the end of their lives. Insightful 👏

Thank you for these awesome videos. I am not sure if my students love them but they are a true treasure for a teacher. Used them for supplement lectures when I was on maternity leave. Great teaching!

[Shaihulud]

Thanks, Teach! I'm just an average guy trying to learn what the "rules for life on earth" are. This was helpful

[eloymarcelo]

Thank you very much Mr. Anderson - Bozeman Science, for the videos you've shared here in Youtube. I used those as references as part of my online class instruction and helped me explain the concept of topics that I discuss with the class. I never re-posted your video as not to infringe copyright. Thank you very much, the student understood the topics easy-peasy.

Shoutout anyone watching this for ENVR SCIENCE from GC 🥳🥳

[kacey_donner]

That was so helpful. Thank you for the free education. Much needed.

mr.anderson saves me when I'm last minute cramming for AP bio tests!!!! THANKS MR.ANDERSON

[vanglearnstocan]

Mr Anderson saving my useless bren cell once more

[ricky-leedaniels]

Thanks, this was really helpful. Concise and informative. Hope we see more of your videos on ecology.

Intrinsic Growth Rate. Slay!
👏Thank you, teacher!

[dahabohussien]

What a great teacher, you are born to do this! God bless you!

I always remember r selection as "r" for "rapid" birth rate or "r" for "rabbit" because of how many offspring rabbits have
