the amount of food and animales in an area
What are the density independent and dependent factors that affect sea turtles?
affect turtles
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.
Is seasonal cycles a density dependent limiting factor?
No it is a Density independent factor- nonliving and does not depend on population size
What density independent and density dependent limiting factors may prevent the human population from continued growth?
KKK
What density independent?
Density-independent deaths are those deaths caused by an event that is not related to the population density in which the deaths occurred. For instance, death by lightning strike would be density-independent because the chance of a lightning strike does not increase when there are more people in that area. An example of density-dependent deaths would be an epidemic of influenza. The influenza virus travels from person to person, so if there are more people in an area there are more that can become infected and therefore more that can die from influenza. In rural areas, where population density is low, influenza tends to be stopped because there aren't enough people to keep the infection going.
