Introduction to Ecology
How Populations Grow: The biotic potential of a population produces exponential growth if not restrained.
Exponential growth sometimes leads to "boom-and-bust" cycles.
Environmental resistance limits population growth.

Population Patterns in Space and Time
Populations distribute themselves in different ways.
Populations show characteristic patterns of survivorship.

The Human Population
The human population is growing exponentially.
The age structure of a population predicts its future growth.
The population of the united states is growing rapidly.; Exponential growth sometimes leads to "boom-and-bust" cycles.
Environmental resistance limits population growth.
