Sort the examples and descriptions into two categories: density-dependent limiting factors and density-independent limiting factors.
Competition is an example. Parasitism and disease are examples.
Environmental extremes, such as a hurricane or drought, are examples. Their effects increase as the population increases in an area.
They generally affect both small, scattered populations and large, dense populations.

Limiting Factors are factors that constrain the population's size. Limiting factors include biotic factors (e.g., presence of predators) and abiotic factors (e.g., water resources).

  • Density-dependent Limiting Factors affect a population's size as a function of its density, while independent factors are not associated with its density.

The Density-dependent Limiting Factors include:

  • Competition
  • Parasitism and disease
  • Their effects increase as the population increases in an area because it also increases the population's density.
  • Density-dependant factors influence the population's size by changing the reproduction/survival rate.

The Density-Independent Limiting Factors include:

  • Environmental extremes (e.g., hurricane or drought)
  • These factors generally affect both small, scattered populations and large, dense populations because they affect all populations living in a given area.
