These more precise models can then be used to accurately describe changes occurring in a population and better predict future changes.

This results in a classic "J"-shaped graph of population size over time. For populations that can breed throughout the year this is called exponential growth. Most organisms, however, are restricted to breeding at certain times of the year, which results in geometric growth.

By determining the life span of individuals in a population and how many offspring they produce human demographers and ecologists can summarize key aspects of a population, such as average life span, generation time, and growth rate. This allows comparisons between different populations and species.
