Sort the examples and descriptions into two categories: density-dependent limiting factors and density-independent limiting factors. Competition is an example. Parasitism and disease are examples.
Environmental extremes, such as a hurricane or drought, are examples. Their effects increase as the population increases in an area.
They generally affect both small, scattered populations and large, dense populations.
