Chapter 52.6, Problem 1SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The controls that regulate populations of other organisms, have been sidestepped by humans.
Introduction:
Over the past 250 years, human populations have increased drastically worldwide. There are three ways by which humans have avoided the effects of density-dependent regulating factors that are identified by demographers. Usually, food, environmental factors, and mortality rate are the major factors affecting the human populations.
