Question

Give an example of how density-dependent and density-independent factors might interact.

Answer 1

Density dependent factors are those factors which were occurs at the time when the regulation growth rates are based on the density of the population . These are the biotic type of factors which include the diseases caused by the predation and parasites.

It was found that the reproductive rate between intra and inter specific competition rate is low hence reduces the rate of population. Due to low density pray there is scarcity and hence the mortality rate is more. There some parasites which fives lower number of eggs in dense population because there is smaller female population is present in the denser population. for example Ascuris lumbricoide.

There is grater effect on overall population and its recovery if the same disaster occurred during the summer during this time population are high and it is low in winter.
