Sort the following into density dependent and density independent factors:
Typically causes a logistic growth pattern
Ex = intraspecific competition
Ex = disease/parasites
Ex = natural disaster
Ex = extreme weather events
Effect does not intensify or vary as a population increases in density
Effect intensifies as a population increases in density
Typically leads to a population reaching a carrying capacity
Regulates population growth through mechanisms like intraspecific competition
Density dependent limiting factors
Density independent limiting factors
Question 4

Sort the following examples into density dependent and density independent factors
Parasites are being passed throughout a population due to contaminated water
Penguins are competing for limited space to breed and raise their offspring
E coli is spreading throughout a population
There is a drought that affects water availability for African elephants
There is a wildfire that destroys the habitat of many tree frogs
Gazelle's are competing for limited food
Deforestation is occurring in a rainforest that is affecting access to nesting locations for a species of bird
There is a chemical spill that kills of a large portion of a species of fish
Density dependent limiting factor
Density independent limiting factor
