predation, availability of food, disease, parasitism

Things that depend on the size of the population, as opposed to density independent factors such as weather, and natural disasters.

What is an density dependent factor?

A density dependent factor is a factor that is affected by the amount of organisms in a population. An example of this would be sickness, as the higher the density is, the more easily the sickness will spread.

Crowding, disease, and competition are all density-dependent limiting factors EXCEPT, seasonal cycles. Seasonal cycles are NOT a density- dependent limiting factor.


What is a density dependent factor Wind space fire or flood?

A density-dependent factor is a variable that affects a population's growth based on its density. Among the options provided, fire is considered a density-dependent factor because its impact can vary with the population size; for example, in a dense forest, a fire can spread more easily and affect more individuals. In contrast, wind and flood are generally density-independent factors, as they affect populations regardless of their density.


What are examples of density dependent factors?

Density-dependent factors are factors that limit population growth such as, a natural disaster, disease, drought, fire, etc.May I add, food supply also falls under the density-dependent factor that involves population growth. When this happens, population does not level off but usually plunges down. In the factor of disease, an example would be the Great Black Plegue in England. It wiped out many people in just weeks.

Limiting factors whose effects increase as the size of the population increases are called what?

Limiting factors whose effects increase as the size of the population increases are known as density-dependent factors. Competition is an example of a density-dependent limiting factor.
