Which factor is a density-dependent limiting factor on the population of a species?

• seasonal variation
• natural disasters
• unusual weather
• predation

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS2-6

Introduced or invasive species are often difficult because:

• They contribute to habitat fragmentation
• They do not adapt well to new environments
• They increase biodiversity
• They often lack natural predators
