N = number of individuals present in a population
B = absolute number of births in the population (in a given time interval)
D =
absolute number of deaths in the population (“)
absolute number of individuals immigrating into the population (“)
E =
absolute number of individuals emigrating out of a population (")
t =
time
(delta) represents finite change in numbers
# individuals born per individual in the population per year
# individuals dying per individual in the population per year
b =
d =
per capita growth rate = b - d
K = carrying capacity of a population in a given environment
Td = doubling time; (time it takes for an exponentially growing population to double)
r =
%3D
