What effects do predation competition and crowding and stress have on population?

Predation can decrease a population by directly killing individuals. Competition for resources can limit population growth by reducing access to food, mates, or other necessities. Crowding and stress can also limit population growth by increasing competition, reducing reproductive success, and weakening immune systems, making individuals more vulnerable to disease.


How does competition limit a population growth?

There is a limit to available resources and all organisms in an ecosystem compete for those resources. Those that are better adapted, will obtain higher amounts of those resources leaving less for those that do not have the best abilities. These organisms that did not obtain all the resources they needed will die therefore controlling population growth.


What factors limit the growth of population?

What does intraspecific competition do to population growth?

If members of the same species are competing for limited resources, then each individual would receive fewer resources when the population size of intraspecific competitors increases. Fewer resources per individual will(1) decrease the growth rates of individuals,(2) increase the chance that individuals die of starvation(3) decrease the number of offspring that a female can produce.
