Question

Can You Please Give Me Some Examples of Density-Independent and Density-Dependent Limiting Factors?

Answer 1

-Density independent limiting factors are factors that limit or change populations regardless of the population number/density.

Examples are natural disasters such as tsunamis, fires, earthquakes, etc., temperature, weather, human activities (such as deforestation).

-Density dependent limiting factors are factors that limit/change populations when they reach a certain population level/density.

For example, if there are too many fish in a pond, food might run out, and fish may end up dying.

So, some examples are disease, food shortages, predation, competition, and lack of living space (crowding).
