Differentiate between density-dependent and density-independent limiting factors and give at least two examples from the lesson of each.

Answer:

Density-dependent limiting factors depend on the size of a population. Density-independent limiting factors affect all populations the same, regardless of population size. Density-dependent limiting factors include disease, parasites, competition for food, water, and shelter, and predation. Density-independent limiting factors include natural disasters, climate, and human activity.
