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