A population of white-footed mice becomes severely overpopulated. Which of the following represents a density-independent control on population growth of these mice?     Decreased immune function in the mice due to stress related to overcrowding     Increased numbers of owl predators due to the increased number of mice     Temperatures much warmer than normal due to increased greenhouse gases, which disrupts the normal breeding cues for these mice     Rapid transmission of diseases and parasites amongst the mice     Lack of sufficient food and shelter for the high numbers of mice
