Population Size and Population Density

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Population size is the total individuals of one species in a defined area; population density is that number divided by the area or volume occupied.

Show

Two forests with the same number of deer differ in density if one forest is twice the other's area.

Watch for

A larger population size does not imply higher density — count and spatial concentration are independent measurements.
