Properties of populations include age and spatial distribution,
both of which emerge from actions and properties of individuals and
can affect population dynamics, the changes in populations and
metapopulations over time and space. The age structure of a
population is described and analyzed to determine how it affects
the growth of a population. The various aspects of spatial
structure of populations, which also arise from characteristics and
behaviors of individuals, are examined and used to develop the
concept of a metapopulation. Finally, this book discusses how
individuals perform behaviors that can lead to other properties
observed at the population level, such as birds flocking. The
advantages and disadvantages to flying in flocks are evaluated, as
are the mechanisms by which flocks of birds are maintained and how
they respond to an attack by a predator.
