This types of population has a sigmoid shape or an S-shape curve when plotted on a graph. The graph plotted is the number of individuals in the population or growth rate versus time.

What is the difference between population and statistical population?
Usually, we make a distinction between a population and a sample. The population is the entire set of values or attributes of interest while the sample is a subset of the population.
What is an artificial waterway it is usually narrow and connects two larger bodies of water it is used for navigation and carrying water?
An artificial waterway is a man-made canal that is typically narrow and connects two larger bodies of water. These canals are used for navigation, transporting goods, and water supply purposes. They are constructed to facilitate transportation and provide efficient passage between different bodies of water.
How does population size differ from population density?
Population density is the number of people resident in a unit area. Population increase / decrease would be CHANGE in the population density over time.
What are Restrictive population policies?
Restrictive population policies are policies that restrict the growth of a population, usually enforced by the government or ethnic group, such as the communist Chinese "One Child Policy."
A population that grows until it reaches its carrying capacity usually has the shape of an?

What happens when population reaches it's carrying capacity?
Ideally a population at its carrying capacity is stable, there is enough for all to survive. The system is usually slightly underdamped and the population will vary between just over its carrying capacity where some individuals suffer and under its capacity where there is a surplus. If the system is severely under damped there are extreme swings in the population. A typical example is the relation between Arctic hares and foxes.

What is the rate of change of a population when it has reached its carrying capacity?
Although it will usually far pass the carrying capacity then come back down, it will eventually even out at zero change.

Does carrying capacity affects the size of a population?
Carrying capacity can influence the population in a place because it cannot offer an unlimited supply of resources. If the carrying capacity is reached, there may not be room, food, or water for any other organisms.
What happens to a population when the number of individuals approaches carrying capacity?
starvation increases to the point where this population is maintained.
What is the carrying capacity of a tiger?
5 although it can be 5 it usually is about 3-4 at a time.
What cause the population to decline when it grows larger than the carrying capacity?
Because when carrying capacity is reached and the population surpasses that you see a decline usually caused by over consumption of food sources leading to largescale starvation or the introduction of a virus or disease caused by the increased proximity the animals would be living inmates, the are other factors of course but that's the basics of it. Populations tend to spike and fall over the years.
Why do people choose cars more than motorcycles?
Weather protection, crash protection, and cargo carrying capacity are usually the biggest reasons.
What is meant by the carrying capacity of a piece of land?
Usually this means how many stock units the land can support eg sheep per hectare
What is the term for the maximum number of individual that an ecosystem can support?
As much as the main limiting factors in that ecosystem will allow: it is always a balance between the species production rate, their vital resources and predation. More detailed answer will depend on the species and the ecosystem. Good example are bacterial blooms in oligotrophic waters, which occur as soon as the normally limiting factors disappear (usually one of the nutrients added to the system by some kind of advection), and themselves disappear as soon as the carrying capacity is reached and the nutrients depleted.
