    Population Viability Analysis Introduction Over the last few lectures we’ve talked about the stochastic threats to persistence in small populations. We identified five classes of threats and some of their qualitative properties: 1. Genetic stochasticity — Not a problem in populations with Ne greater than a few hundred. Therefore‚ not likely to be a problem in populations large enough to buffer environmental stochasticity 2. Demographic stochasticity — Unlikely to be a problem in populations with

    OVER POPULATION “Whether we accept it or not‚ this will likely be the century that determines what the optimal human population is for our planet. It will come about in one of two ways: Either we decide to manage our own numbers‚ to avoid a collision of every line on civilization’s graph – or nature will do it for us‚ in the form of famines‚ thirst‚ climate chaos‚ crashing ecosystems‚ opportunistic disease and wars over dwindling resources that finally cut us down to size” – Alan Weisman

    demographic transition theory became the dominant theory of population growth. Based on observed trends in Western European societies‚ it argues that populations go through three stages in their transition to a modern pattern. Stage one (pre transition) is characterized by low or no growth‚ and high fertility is counterbalanced by high mortality. In Stage Two (the stage of transition)‚ mortality rates begin to decline‚ and the population grows at a rapid pace. By the end of this stage‚ fertility has

    The Population Problem Two hundred years ago‚ Thomas Malthus‚ in An Essay on the Principle of Population‚ reached the conclusion that the number of people in the world will increase exponentially‚ while the ability to feed these people will only increase arithmetically (21). Current evidence shows that this theory may not be far from the truth. For example‚ between 1950 and 1984‚ the total amount of grain produced more than doubled‚ much more than the increase in population in those 34 years.
