Ecology of population: WAEC Biology Past Questions and Answers
What the WAEC syllabus covers in Ecology of population
Our summary: How communities change over time by succession, and what makes populations grow or shrink.
- Ecological succession: structural changes in species composition, variety or diversity and increase in numbers; general characteristics and outcomes of succession
- Primary succession: succession in terrestrial and aquatic habitats
- Secondary succession, climax of the succession: characteristic of a stable ecosystem (Candidates should study succession in an abandoned farmland, lawn, and in a pond over a period of time to discover a definite sequence of colonization by plants.)
- Factors that affect population size: natality, mortality, emigration, immigration, food shortage, predation, competition and diseases (Reference should be made to population.)
