The Synthesis of "population dynamics"

An overview of population dynamics, the study of how and why populations change, and its critical impact on society and the environment.

Discover carrying capacity, the maximum population an environment can sustain. Learn why it's a key concept in ecology and for human sustainability.

An explainer on human population trends, why discussion is peaking, and how these demographic shifts impact societies and the environment.

Discover genetic drift, the random change in gene frequencies in a population. Learn how this key evolutionary force shapes life's diversity.

An overview of Thomas Malthus, the English economist whose theories on population growth outstripping food supply have sparked debate for centuries.

Speciation is the evolutionary process that creates new species, driving the biodiversity of life on Earth. Discover how it happens and why it matters.

Explore the theory of evolution, the process of natural selection, and how life on Earth adapts, diversifies, and changes over generations.

Discover gene flow: the transfer of genetic material from one population to another. Learn how it impacts evolution and genetic diversity.

Explore the Malthusian Theory, an economic idea that population growth will always outpace food supply, leading to widespread crisis.

Discover the gene pool: the total genetic diversity within a population. Learn why it's crucial for evolution, conservation, and human health.
