Density-dependent factors __________.       have a greater impact at higher population densities are less important for regulating population size than density-independent factors act at the community level cause decreases in numbers of species in an ecosystem as a result of temperature extremes

D.A change in average temperature is a density-dependent factor because fewer organisms can acclimate to variations in temperature. Base your answers to questlons 14-16 on the Information below and on your knowledge of blology. Unless actions are taken to slow the decline of domesticated honeybees and augment [increase] their populations with wild bees, many fruits and vegetables may disappear from the food supply, said Claire Kremen, a conservation biologist at Princeton University in New Jersey... The honeybee decline, which is affecting domesticated and wild bee populations around the world, is mostly the result of diseases spread as a result of mites and other parasites as well as the spraying of crops with pesticides, scientists say. Source: "Bee Declines May Spell End of Some Fruits, Vegetables," National Geographic News, October 5, 2005 14. The decrease in the honeybee population is partly due to A. the use of pesticides B. the use of fertilizers C. a decrease in prey D. a…

In 2010, 150 coyotes (Canis latrans) were counted in Pierce County, WA. The population was surveyed again in 2017 and it was up to 250 individuals. What is the growth rate of the coyote population? What will the population size be in 2025?

Is an environment's carrying capacity mainly affected by density-dependent or density-independent factors? Explain your answer.

This is wildlife

In the Lotka-Volterra equations for predator (P) and prey (V) population sizes, shown below, what term represents the carrying capacity for each species? dV = rV - pVP сpVP — d,P dt dP I3| dt O Pand V dP and dV p and c pVP and dpP Carrying capacity is not represented in the Lotka-Volterra equations
