∙ 12y ago- Disease
- Physical environment and weather: fire, flood, temperature etc.
- Space available for breeding
- Amount of food available: winter, disease, availability, pollution
- Predators
- Build up of waste- this affects some type of bacteria
Human population:
- Better medicine and health care
- Vets
- Hygiene
- Farming
- Pollution
- Demand for food

∙ 13y agoThere are various factors that affect animal and human populations.
Density Independent Factors
Natural disasters (hurricanes, floods, volcanoes) and changes in climate are density-independent factors because the size of the population does not directly determine the effect of the factor.
Density Dependent Factors
Density-dependent factors include intra-species competition for resources, as well as reproduction rates, migration, predation, and parasitism.

What is the difference 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.
What is the difference between density independent factors and density dependent 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 limiting factors may affect population density?
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.
This is a limiting factor of a population that does not depend on the population density. These factors are usually abiotic factors.?
density independent limiting factor
What type of factors are limiting factors whose effects are not influenced by population density?
density independent.
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.
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.
Limiting factors that are controlled by the size of population?
Density- Dependent factors
How do you use density-dependent in a sentence?
The student's report included density-dependent factors that showed how the size of the population varied with the density of that population.
What does population density means in biology?
Nothing is strictly related between population density and biology. Population density is linked to other factors. This is a statistical demographics issue..
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.
Limiting factors that are not controlled by the size of a population?
Density- independent factors :D
