Density-Dependent Limiting Factors
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A density-dependent factor's effect on growth rate strengthens as density increases, as when competition for food or disease transmission intensifies in a denser population.
Show
Disease spreads faster through a dense population than a sparse one, so mortality rises with density.
Watch for
A density-dependent factor's effect changes with density — it is not any factor that merely kills many individuals at once.
