Front

An environmental factor such as storms and extreme heat or cold that affects population regardless of their density

Back

density-independent factor

Front

An environmental factor such as predation, disease, and competition that depends on the number of members in a population per unit

Front

Which of the following is TRUE of predator/prey relationships? Options: The amount of prey does not affect the number of predators., Herbivores are limited by the number of prey in an ecosystem., Humans are not considered predators., The number of predators is determined by available prey.

Back

The number of predators is determined by available prey.
