Chapter 53
53.1 – dynamic biological processes influence population density, dispersion, and demographics
53.2 – the exponential model describes population growth in an idealized, unlimited environment
53.3 – the logistic model describes how a population grows more slowly as it nears carrying capacity
53.4 – life history traits are products of natural selection
53.5 – many factors that regulate population growth are density dependent
53.6 – the human population is no longer growing exponentially but is still increasing rapidly

54.1 – community interactions are classified by whether they help, harm, or have no effect on the species involved
54.2 – diversity and trophic structure characterize biological communities
54.3 – disturbance influences species diversity and composition
54.4 – biogeographic factors affect community diversity
54.5 – pathogens alter community structure locally and globally
