ANSWER:
The size of a population for any species is not a static parameter. It keeps changing in time, depending on various factors including food availability, predation pressure and reduces weather. In fact, it is these changes in population density that give us some idea of what is happening to the population - whether it is flourishing or declining. Whatever might be the ultimate reasons, the density of a population in a given habitat during a given period fluctuates due to changes in four basic processes, two of which (natality and immigration) contribute an increase in population density and two (mortality and emigration) to a decrease.
(i) Natality in population ecology is the scientific term for birth rate.
(ii) Mortality is the number of deaths in the population during a given period.
(iii) Immigration is the number of individuals of the same species that have come into the habitat from elsewhere during the time period under consideration.
(iv) Emigration is the number of individuals of the population who left the habitat and gone elsewhere during the time period under consideration.
So, the correct answer is 'D'.
Hope it helps. Please brainliest me. Thank you.
Answer:
CRUDE DEATH RATE is the total number of deaths to residents in a specified geographic area (country, state, county, etc.) divided by the total population for the same geographic area (for a specified time period, usually a calendar year) and multiplied by 100,000.
