All right, so here we are talking about age structures of a population and what information ecologists can derive from that data.
00:10
And so here i have a very, very simple age structure of a population that i've come up with myself.
00:16
We have larva and we have adults.
00:19
And currently i've said that there are 100 individual larva and five individual adults.
00:23
So what can we sort of deduce from this information presented here? firstly, we have the carrying capacity of an environment.
00:34
Now, this is a little bit tricky.
00:35
As to some extent, i mean, any information about the size of a population can tell you a bit about the carrying capacity of the environment.
00:44
However, i wouldn't check this box considering that the age structure itself doesn't provide any additional information about what the carrying capacity of an environment could be any further than just knowing what the population.
00:59
At any moment of the environment might be.
01:01
And so it's kind of difficult to say what the carrying capacity of an environment would be given any age structure at any moment.
01:09
And so this wouldn't be a box that i would check.
01:12
Moving on, how much immigration will occur in a population.
01:16
This is very, very clearly not really information that you can derive.
01:20
We don't know anything about any kind of migration.
01:23
We know that there's 100 larva and 5 adults...
