Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Density-dependent regulation refers to factors that limit population growth and are influenced by population density, such as competition and predation, disease, and territoriality. Intrinsic physiological factors can also affect population growth independently of density. However, a severe frost is a density-independent factor that can affect population growth regardless of the density of the population, and therefore is not an example of density-dependent regulation.
