when large populations starts to need higher supply of food and water so they start to compete.

∙ 14y agoThe density dependent factors become limiting when the density reaches a high enough point. An example of a density dependent factor would be something like food or space. When there are too many animals competing for the same resource such as food, there is not enough to go round, so the stronger animals will out compete the weaker ones. The weaker ones die or move away and the density (IE number of animals) go down or have a lower density. They effectively self regulate in the natural environment.

What kind of limiting factor depends on the population size?
Resources such as food, water, space for shelter are some.
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
Which is not a density dependent factor limiting population growth?
a very early fall frost
What is a density-dependent limiting factor A.Tornado B.unusual weather C.human activities D.competition?
all of them
What kind of limiting factor depends on the population size?

Are seasonal cycles a density- dependent limiting factor.?
Crowding, disease, and competition are all density-dependent limiting factors EXCEPT, seasonal cycles. Seasonal cycles are NOT a density- dependent limiting factor.
What is the limiting factor on the population of arctic foxes?
density dependent
Which is density -dependent limiting factor?
Parasitism

Is the number of moose on the island a density-dependent or density independent limiting factor for the wolves?
Food availability for the moose and disease for the wolf
Is seasonal cycles a density dependent limiting factor?
No it is a Density independent factor- nonliving and does not depend on population size
What are 2 density dependent limiting factor?
food and living space
What are the influencing factor of wetland?
Density-dependent limiting factor: A limiting factor whose effects depend on the size of the population depend on population density. The less dense the population, the less severe the effect of the limiting factor. Examples: Predation and disease Density-independent limiting factor: A limiting factor that has the same effect on a population regardless of its population density. Examples: Natural disasters and climate
What is a density-dependent factor limiting population growth?
Parasitism
