Influenza epidemics are considered density dependent, as the spread of the virus is influenced by the population density and interactions among individuals. Higher population density can lead to increased transmission of the virus, making epidemics more likely to occur.
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.
Space
Density dependent. Imagine a small room tightly packed with dogs, and only one of the dogs has fleas. Since the dogs are so close together, the fleas can easily jump from one dog to another dog. However, in a large room with only 5 dogs, only one of the dogs having fleas, the dogs are free to roam more and the fleas can't be transferred as easily. Hope this helps :)
Density-dependent limiting factors, such as competition for resources, predation, disease, and parasitism, depend on the population size. As the population size increases, the impact of these factors may also increase, leading to adjustments in population growth and dynamics.
Disease is Density dependent.

By definition, a pathogen is an organism that causes disease. So the "problems" are dependent on the particlar organism.
Mass and volume are density dependent factors food supply

Space and food sources are density-dependent factors.
No, Its a Density Independent
Relative density
Cancer tissues are not density dependent.
The student's report included density-dependent factors that showed how the size of the population varied with the density of that population.
