Identification 1. Apparent2. Competition- rivalry of two or more parties over something. Occurs naturally between living organisms w/c coexists in the same environment. 3. Autecology- the study of individual species in relation to the environment. 4. Competition5. Ecological Optimum- the density of population which can be supported by the areas natural resources. 6. Ectoparasite- a parasite that lives OUTSIDE the body. They move from host to host feeding and laying eggs. 7. Emigration- to leave one country or region, especially ones native country or region to settle in another; movement of an area that was once ones place of residence. 8. Endoparasite- Parasites that live INSIDE the body of the host 9. Immigration- movement into an area in which one has not previously resided. 10.Interspecific Competition- competition between two or more species for some limiting source. 11.Life Expectancy- statistical measure of the average length of survival of a living thing. It is often calculated separately for differing gender and geographic location. 12.Morbidity Rate13.Mortality Rate- a measure of the number of death 14.Mutualism- an interaction between two or more species where both species derive benefit. 15.Parasitoids- parasites that use another organisms tissue for their own nutritional benefit until the host dies from loss needed tissues or nutrients. 16.Population Density-is a measurement of population per unit area or unit volume. 17.Population Ecology-a major subfield of ecology that deals with the dynamics of species population and how these interact with the environment. 18.Population Growth- changing of the amount of population over time. 19.Residential Density-the number of people living in an urban area divided by the amount of residential land. 20.Synecology- the study of group of organisms in relation to the environment

Enumeration A. Factors Affecting Dispersion 1. 2. 3. 4. The action of environment agencies of transport Distribution of soil types and other physical features of the habitat The influence of temporal changes in weather and climate The behavior pattern of the population in regard to productive processes and dispersal of the young 5. The intensity of intra- and interspecific competition 6. The various social and antisocial forces that may develop among the members of the population

B. Methods of Measuring Population Density 1. Allee effect: a. Increased problems with location mates b. Increased inbreeding c. Increased susceptibility to catastrophic events 2. Other methods of measuring population density a. Arithmetic density b. Physiological density c. Agricultural density d. Residential density e. Ecological optimum
