Chapter 56, Problem 1COQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The places where students demonstrate each type of dispersion pattern in a campus and the reason for their distribution..
Introduction: The population density is defined as the number of individuals of a given species living in a given unit area. The analysis of the population density of a species can provide the information about the dispersion pattern of that population.

Then, state if it is a density-independent limiting factor or a density-dependent limiting factor. Then, state the specific limiting factor that is occurring. The first one is done for you as an example. SITUATION Dependent - Independent or Density-Dependent Limiting Factor Mrs. Engelbrecht has 32 students assigned to her Biology Class, but she only has room for 28. Because the room is crowded, the extra 4 students leave room to go to Guidance and have their schedules changed. Density- Dependent Emigration Northern pike (it’s a fish) feed on another fish, the yellow perch. An increase in the yellow perch population causes an increase in the northern pike population.
