READING TOOL Compare and Contrast As you read your textbook, complete the Venn diagram to compare and contrast density-dependent limiting factors and density-independent limiting factors. to th Density Dependent Limiting Factor Scenario(s) Limiting Factors limit population size Density Independent Once you have finished the venn diagram, categorize the following scenarios as density-dependent and density-independent limiting factors. Scenario A: A flood wipes out all the plant species that live on a riverbed. Scenario B: A pack of wolves migrates to a new valley and eats all the deer that inhabit that space. Scenario C: A large population of zebras are killed due to a very contagious virus. Scenario D: A drought kills many of the deer that live in a valley. Density-Dependent Density-Independent

R and K Selection

R and K selection are concepts in ecology used to describe traits in the fluctuation of a population or population dynamics. For example, they describe the life-association traits between parent and offspring, such as quantity or number of young ones born at a time, quality of parental care, the age to maturity, and reproductive effort.
