Summary Introduction
Introduction:
In uniform distribution the populations are spaced evenly, for instance, the spacing between houses in a subdivision or strangers in a classroom tends to equalize the distances among individual property owners or people, the species shows uniform distribution.

Read each situation in the chart below. Then, state if it is a density-independent limiting factor or a density-dependent limiting factor. Then, state the specific limiting factor that is occurring. The first one is done for you as an example.
SITUATION
Dependent - Independent or Density-Dependent
Limiting Factor
Mrs. Engelbrecht has 32 students assigned to her Biology Class, but she only has room for 28. Because the room is crowded, the extra 4 students leave room to go to Guidance and have their schedules changed.
Density- Dependent
Emigration
Northern pike (it’s a fish) feed on another fish, the yellow perch. An increase in the yellow perch population causes an increase in the northern pike population.
Density- Dependent
The BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has harmed many aquatic organisms that live in the Gulf region.

To get the remaining sub-part solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved. Carrying capacity: The resources present in the ecosystem are utilised by all the organisms that grow and thrive in the ecosystem. Since the resources present are limited the environment can support only a limited number of organisms. The maximum number of organisms that the environment can support is called the carrying capacity. Above the carrying capacity, there is completion for the limited resources. Step 2 1. When we see the data representing the deer population from 1905-1939 we see that there has been a rapid increase in the deer population initially and then the population falls down drastically. In the year 1915 The carrying capacity for the Kaibab deer population was 30.000 deers for 30,000 hectares of land. If the see the deer…arrow_forward
