Summary Introduction

To review:

The difference between density-dependent and density-independent factors that limit population growth, with examples.

Introduction:

Populations cannot grow forever at an unlimited exponential rate, since they are limited by various external factors.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Both density-dependent and density-independent factors can influence population growth. Distinguish between density-dependent and density-independent factors, and describe an example of each
Give two examples of density-dependent and two examples of density-independent factors that can limit the growth of a population.
Write a generalized model for exponential population growth. Define your terms. Then, draw a plot showing an example, being sure to label your axes. Write a formula that extends the preceding model to incorporate carrying capacity, producing sigmoidal population growth. Define your terms. Then, draw a plot showing an example, being sure to label your axes.
