Sort the examples and descriptions into two categories: density-dependent limiting factors and density-independent limiting factors. Competition is an example. Parasitism and disease are examples.
Environmental extremes, such as a hurricane or drought, are examples. Their effects increase as the population increases in an area.
They generally affect both small, scattered populations and large, dense populations.

Density-Independent Limiting Factors

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.  

they kick it to the curb.

explanation:

that current was nasty.
