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.
In the context of populations, a limiting factor is a factor that causes population growth to decrease. Density-Dependent Factors Density-Dependent Factors A limiting factor that depends on population size is called a density-dependent limiting factor. Density-Dependent Factors Density-dependent limiting factors include: â¢ competition â¢ predation â¢ parasitism â¢ disease Density-Dependent Factors Density-dependent factors operate only when the population density reaches a certain level. These factors operate most strongly when a population is large and dense. They do not affect small, scattered populations as greatly. Density-Dependent Factors Competition When populations become crowded, organisms compete for food, water space, sunlight and other essentials. Competition among members of the same species is a density-dependent limiting factor. Density ...
