Density dependent factors are factors that depend of the population (density). Such as food, water, and space Density Independent factors are factors that the population (density) depends on. Such as weather, natural disasters and random occurances.
Density- dependent limiting factors is limiting factor of a population wherein large, dense populations. Density-independent limiting factors are environmental factors affecting a population, such as temperature and oxygen supply.
A density independent factor affects the members of a population regardless of population density, whereas a Density dependent factor affects a population because of the density of the population.
Density-independent factors, usually these are environmental disasters, such as a forest fire, tidal wave etc that destroy the natural ecosystem that a species survives in affect the same proportion of individuals in a population regardless of population density. In contrast, the effects of density-dependent factors intensify as the population increases in size. These types of factors are a direct result of a species' population size. Usually these factors arise because the populations of the species have to compete for the same resources in a limited geographical niche.
Density dependent means that the more individuals there are, the more the factor limits your numbers. if your a deer, contagious diseases are passed more often through contact, so the more deer there are, the faster and more often a disease cycles through a population.
Density-dependent factors are limiting factors that depend on size of population, but density-independent factors affect all populations regardless to the population size.
Density-dependent: competition, predation, parasitism and disease.
Density-independent: unusual weather, natural disasters, and human activities such as building dams and clear-cutting forests.
The density dependent factors are factors whose effects on the size or growth of the population vary with the population density. Like density dependent limiting factors, the independent factor of death valley affects the population of the living things as well. However this time the factors are more Abiotic rather than biotic thing.
Dependent: food, disease, predation, competition
Independent: weather, droughts, floods, extreme temperatures, etc.
Compare and contrast density-dependent growth regulation with densityindependent growth regulation. Give an example of each as they might affect a
caterpillar population.
A density-independent factor is one where the effect of the factor on the size of the population is independent of and does NOT depend upon the original density or size of the population.

Density-independent factors are limiting factors, and their effects are not influenced by population densities. Monaco is the most densely populated country in the world.

There is no such thing as a "density independent variable".

A density dependent factor is a limiting factor that depends on population size. A Density-independent limiting factor affects all populations in similar ways, regardless of the population size. Its in my Biology book.
Two examples of density independent factors of the tundra biome are the extreme temperatures and the excessive winds. Two examples of density dependent factors are weather and competition between the species.
No, Its a Density Independent
