A Georgia Tech Biology class website. This website explains population ecology and the terms related to population ecology. There are graphs showing what is being explained and a reference to a video about population ecology.
This Crash Course Ecology video explains populations through the example of the West Nile outbreak in Texas. It goes through each idea in populations and how it happened in Texas that led to the outbreak. It discusses what a population is, limiting factors, exponential growth, density dependent, density independent, carrying capacity, and the population growth equation.
This activity looks at the different kinds of growth populations can experience.
