2.Examples of density dependent factors are food, shelter, predation, competition, and diseases while examples of density independent factors are natural calamities like floods, fires, tornados, droughts, extreme temperatures, and the disturbance of the habitat of living organisms.
Two density-dependent limiting factors include competition and disease. Both of these factors rely on the size and density of a population because it creates conflict over limited resources (competition) and the more dense a population is, the easier it is for pathogens to spread and infect many individuals (disease).f the population density in the ecosystem were to increase, competition over these cacti would increase, making this a density-dependent limiting factor. Only a certain density of Cactus Wren can be supported in an ecosystem. Another example of a density-dependent limiting factor is disease.
