1. 1 Review List three density dependent limiting factors 2 Review What is a density independent limiting factor Apply Concepts Give three example of a density independent limiting factor that could severely limit the growth of a population of bats living in a cave

2. Ch 5 Populations
5.2 Limits to Growth

3. In its native Asia, populations of hydrilla increase in size until they reach carrying capacity, and then population growth stops. But here in the United States, hydrilla grows out of control.

5. Limiting Factors
Thing(s) that affects the growth of a population.

6. Carrying Capacities and Limiting Factors
What controls Horse populations
Why
Whitetail Deer
Humans
Why. 6

7. Density-Dependent Limiting Factors
Occur at high population densities
Competition, predation, herbivory, parasitism, disease, and stress from overcrowding.

9. Density-Independent Limiting Factors
Affects all populations in similar ways
Unusual weather such as hurricanes, droughts, or floods, and natural disasters such as wildfires.

10. True density Independence
A very cold winter and heavy snowfall.
