In 1976, the dominant finch on Daphne Major in the Galapagos Islands was the medium ground finch, with a population of 1,200. In 1977, a drought struck the island negatively affecting most of the vegetation. As a result, the population of medium ground finch dropped to 180 due to starvation. In 1983, however, a large amount of rainfall fell on the island creating optimal conditions for vegetation. The medium ground finch population increased to 1,100. What type of factor affected medium ground finch populations in 1977 and 1983?

• Density independent

• Logistic

• Density dependent

• Biotic
