recapture
abundance - ANSWERSabsolute number of individuals
density - ANSWERSabundance of individuals per unit area
natural selection - ANSWERSacts on phenotypes of individuals, results in charges in allele frequencies in
populations
maximum sustainable yield - ANSWERSinflection point, peak growth rate that can be supported
allele - ANSWERSalternate form of a gene, one inherited from each parent

a big problem for small populations

apparent - ANSWERScompetition among species whose outcome is mediated by a shared predator
bottom up - ANSWERSconsumer resource interactions cause population to fluctuate independent of
environmental variation

lokta volterra - ANSWERScontinuous time model that calculates rate of change in predator and prey
populations as each is influenced by the abundance of the other
