The video explores the physiology of organisms and ecology, focusing on population ecology. It uses the 2012 West Nile Virus outbreak in Dallas as a case study to explain population dynamics, density, dispersion, and growth. The video discusses limiting factors, both density-dependent and independent, and explains exponential and logistic growth. It concludes with a mathematical approach to calculating population growth, emphasizing the importance of understanding these concepts in ecology.
