| Species vary in their biotic potential or capacity for population growth under ideal conditions. |
|
| The biotic potential of a population is the ability of that population to grow under optimal environmental conditions. |
|
| From this and experimental evidence of the parasites' biotic potential and immunogenicity to the hosts the potential susceptibility to control measures can be determined. |
|
| Factors that affect biotic potential include the age at which reproduction begins, how long individuals remain reproductive, and how much offspring are produced by each reproductive event. |
|
| In general, biotic potential remains constant, and it shifts in environmental resistance that allow populations to increase or cause them to decrease. |
|
| Populations of species with large individuals, such as elephants, have a low biotic potential while those of small individuals, such as bacteria and insects, have a high biotic potential. |
|
| Restoration of the stabilising biotic potential would mean relaxation of anthropogenic pressure on perturbed territories and complete abandonment of further cultivation of the natural biota. |
|
| The biotic potential of the food plants in these areas can also be important. |
|
| However, the time they spend in these areas slows their development, and reduces their overall biotic potential. |
|
| Full expression of the biotic potential of an organism is restricted by environmental resistance, any factor that inhibits the increase in number of the population. |
|
| The abundance of any species in a given environment depends upon the biotic potential of the insect, the abundance of the food plant, and other factors favourable for development of large populations. |
|
| The biotic potential variables assess the presence of endemic, rare, and threatened bat species and assays the priority level based on an equation. |

| Biotic potential, the maximum reproductive capacity of an organism under optimum environmental conditions. |
