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.

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.


What is a density-dependent factor in controlling a population?

A density-dependent factor is one where the effect of the factor on the size of the population depends upon the original density or size of the population. A disease is a good example of a density-dependent factor. If a population is dense and the individuals live close together, then each individual will have a higher probability of catching the disease than if the individuals had been living farther apart. Not only will a greater number of individuals be affected, but, more importantly, a greater proportion of the population will be affected if they are living close together. For example, bird populations are often regulated more by this type of regulation.
