not all offspring survive to adulthood
13
Q
environmental resistance
A
- biotic or abiotic
- generation is limited by factors in their environments
14

density dependant
A
density increase –> loss of population
15
Q
density independant factor
A
will limit a population but are not influenced by the size of the population
ex. flood
