Determine whether each of the scenarios below describes a density independent control or a
density dependent control on butterfly populations.
The females lay many eggs on each plant,
Dependent
such that the caterpillars eat nearly all the
leaves and 80% of the caterpillars starve
before becoming adults
The nursery plant species on which the
Independent
butterflies lay their eggs is entirely removed
from the habitat
A severe rainstorm drowns 80% of the
Independent
butterflies
When butterflies are not abundant,
Dependent
predators switch to eating moths, which
reduces the mortality rate of butterflies
A contagious disease sweeps through the
Dependent
population, killing 80% of the butterflies
A late spring cold snap reduces temperatures
Independent
to outside the butterflies' tolerance and 80%
of them die in their cocoons
