How can an ecologist predict the size of a population without counting every organism in the population?
Through mark-and-recapture projects, direct observations, or targeted sampling, ecologists are able to determine the population of a particular species. This process is a scientific estimation of the population.
what describe the exponential growth of species?
The best description for the exponential growth of species is if the resources available are unlimited, each species can grow to its full potential. This leads the species to grow in numbers.
Types of population and different properties of population?
Population can be described as dense, sparse or even. The population of a given area can be described using three parameters namely the area, time and the individuals or species.
What is limiting fators?
It is a controlled process, such as organization growth or species population or size, or distribution.
What does population mean in maths term?
Population, in statistics, is the entirety of units for which some variable information is collected for statistical purposes. "Population" need not have anything to do with people. For example, in a forestry study the population might be all trees in a given area, and the measured variable could be the species and/or ages of a selection (sample) of the population.
Which ecological inquiry methods does an ecologist use when he or she enters an area periodically to count the population numbers for certain species?

How might an ecologist test whether a species is occupying its realized or its fundamental niche?
Remove a competitor species to see if the species expands its range.
How does a predator increase numbers of species in an ecosystem?
When a predator reduces the number of one species in a habitat, the population of competing species can increase. With less competition for food, water, and shelter, a species can thrive and reproduce more rapidly than when it is being out-competed.

An ecologist who studies how several species in an area interact is interested in the biological organization called a community.
What is similar to the definition of population?
number of same species within a certain area.

Can a population recover if it drops below a certain level?
No, if the population drops below a certain level, there is no way for the animals or plants to reproduce quickly enough to repopulate the species.
What does it mean if a species becomes an endangered species?
If a population of animals becomes so tiny it has trouble sustaining its numbers, then it becomes endangered.
