Population ecologists study what determines the occurrence and abundance of species in space and time: their geographic ranges, population sizes and densities, what factors result in them being so rare or common, and why these characteristics change over time.

Populations consist all of the species living within a specific area, and populations fluctuate based on a number of factors: seasonal and yearly changes in the environment, natural disasters such as forest fires and volcanic eruptions, and competition for resources between and within species. The statistical study of population dynamics, demography, uses a series of mathematical tools to investigate how populations respond to changes in their environments.

Various methods can be used to measure the size and density of a population. For example, scientists often use quadrats to do this for plants. Dispersion patterns can give scientists information about a particular population. Three common dispersion patters are uniform, random, and clumped.

Ecologists measure characteristics of populations: size, density, and distribution pattern. Life tables are useful to calculate life expectancies of individual population members. Survivorship curves show the number of individuals surviving at each age interval plotted versus time.
