Population size
02/01/2013 by jgluvna
As urban sprawl continues the amount of contiguous habitat for many organisms is decreased and with it the availability of resources. Compare the change in population size over time for organisms that have access to unlimited resources and space (pre-urbanization) to those that have reduced access to both space and resources (post-urbanization).
Theory
- Exponential population growth (Neuhauser, Claudia. Calculus for Biology and Medicine. New Jersey: Prentice Hall, 2000. 358)
- Logistic equation (Neuhauser, Claudia. Calculus for Biology and Medicine. New Jersey: Prentice Hall, 2000. 346)
