Question

Some survival stresses increasingly impact animals as the density of their population increases. Other factors seem to impact the same percent (not necessarily the same number) of animals regardless of their population density. Think about the factors or events experienced by a white-tailed deer population. Some hypothetical ones are listed below. Drag each of the factors into either the density-independent or density dependent box. With each factor ask yourself. Would the percent of animals impacted increase if there were 100 animals per hectare (25 acres) as compared to 1000 animals per hectare? Density Independent Radiation leak from nuclear power plant Forage plant disease Rabies Tick-bome disease Density Dependent Wildfire Freezing temperatures

Answer 1

Density-dependent - forage plant disease, tick-borne disease, rabies

Density independent - wildfire, radiation leak from a nuclear power plant, freezing temperature
