Module 10 Changing Populations

Big Picture

Changes occur in communities and populations in measurable and predictable ways. Scientists have observed patterns of change for habitats that have been newly created or disturbed, for populations in different environmental conditions and for individuals over periods of time. In this module we will investigate the nature and mechanisms of these changes.
