Density Dependent LimitingDensity dependent factors are factors that are dependent on the density of the population in an environment to have an effect. The intensity of the effects of these factors varies as the population density varies. Competition, disease, parasitism, and predation are examples of density dependent factors, as the effects of each of these examples are heavily dependent on how dense the population is.(12)
