This is the number of individuals per unit area.

• population density

• immigration

• emigration

• logistic growth

This occurs when a population's growth slows or stops following a period of exponential growth

• population density

• exponential growth

• logistic growth

• carrying capacity

The movement of individuals into an area

• immigration

• emigration

• growth

• population

The movement of individuals out of area

• immigration

• emigration

• decrease in growth

• population

This occurs when the individuals in a population reproduce at a constant rate.

• emmigration

• emigration

• exponential growth

• logistic growth

What does ecologists call the number of the enviroment for a particular species.

• carry capacity

• growth

• emigration

• immigration

This is a factor that causes population growth to decrease

• limiting factor

• density-dependent limiting factor

• density-independent limiting factor

• increasing factor

A limiting factor that depends on population size

• limiting factor

• density-dependent limiting factor

• density-indeoendent limiting factor

• population

One of the best ways to control population

• predator-prey relationship

• limiting growth factor

• independent factor

• Predation

This affects all populations in similar ways, regardless of the population size.

• density-independent limiting factor

• predator-prey relationship

• over population limiting factor

• density-dependent limiting factor
