2. Population Size/ B.Sc. I/ Animal Ecology

 

Population Size

Population size is the number of individuals in a population

  • For example, a population of fish in pond might consist of 400 individual fishes, or many more. 
  • Population size influences the chances of a species surviving or going extinct. 
  • Generally, very small populations are at greatest risk of extinction. However, the size of a population may be less important than its density.
