Population Ecology (Life Tables, Age Structure, Population Growth)

The video explores population ecology, focusing on factors affecting species populations and changes over time. It covers growth patterns, spatial distribution, and population density. The role of ecological genetics, life tables, and survivorship curves is discussed. Age structure and breeding dynamics are examined, along with exponential and logistic growth. The concept of delayed density dependence is introduced. Extinction types and metapopulations are also covered, highlighting the impact of human activity on species extinction.

How do human activities contribute to anthropogenic extinction?

What is ecological extinction and how does it differ from natural extinction?

Define a meta population and explain its importance in ecology.
