Key Points
• #1: Population density, dispersion, and demographics
are dynamic (ever changing).
• #2: In ideal, unlimited environments, populations
grow exponentially
• #3: As populations near the carrying capacity,
population growth is described as logistic.
• #4: Many factors that regulate population growth
are density dependent
