Population density effects population size through many different factors: predation, spread of disease, competition for resources, and parasites. As such, it has a powerful effect on the carrying capacity of an environment.

What is the main difference between a density dependent limiting factor and a density independent limiting factor?
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.
What are examples of density limiting factors?
Density-independent factors are environmental factors affecting a population regardless of size, such as temperature and oxygen supply.One Density-independent factors would be the impacts of an earthquake on a pack of wild dogs. The number of dogs does not affect the result of the earthquake upon the dog population. In contrast, drought is a density-dependent factor because more dogs will cause greater competition for limited water resources.or just C. competition
What are five factors that can limit the size of a population in an area?
The 5 forces that affect a population are limiting factors, natural disasters, climate change, introduction of non-native species, and population changes.
How might the limiting factor you choose affect the pigeon population?
by good
What is the type of limiting factor that does not affect small scattered populations very much?
Density-Dependent
Identify density-dependent limiting factors and explain how they affect a population.?
- Density-dependent limiting factors that are based on population and are affected by the number of individuals. competition, predation, and parasitism
Identify density-independent limiting factors and explain how they affect a population.?
Density-independent limiting factors are factors that do not rely on the population and are aspects of an environment that limit its growth like hurricanes, fires, and deforestation.
What factor affects the same percentage of a population regardless of the population's density?
Density independent limiting affects the same percentage of a population regardless of the populations density. Density independent limiting factors are environmental factors that affect a population no matter the size.
What is the main difference between a density dependent limiting factor and a density independent limiting factor?
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.
What are the similarities between density-dependent factors and density- independent factors?
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.
How do limiting factors affect populations?
It is impossible for a population to exist if it does not have access to the required limiting factors, and one essential of those factors is they balance the number of population in an area.
What are some limiting factors in the Tundra and how do they affect the population growth?
Booty
What is a density dependent factor?
The density dependent factor refers to the factors that affect the size or growth of a given population density. The factors also affect the mortality rate and the Birth Rate of a population. Some of the density dependent factors are disease, parasitism, availability of food and migration.
What limiting factors are affecting the population size of thedusky field mouse?
What limiting factors affect the population of the dusky fiel mice
Most density-dependent factors that affect population growth are?
competition for resources, predation, disease, and parasitism. These factors tend to have a stronger effect on population growth as population density increases.
Which factors affect a populations growth regardless of the population size?
The basic needs like food, shelter are some of the factors that affect the population's growth regardless of the size.
