Can the lack of density-dependent controls in the introduced range lead to rapid population growth?

Populations of lionfish, and other species with logistic growth, are limited by negative density-dependent factors. These factors reduce a population's growth ... Small animals are more likely to be affected by density-independent factors, with populations only occasionally reaching K except in unusual environmental ... Density-dependent factors promote intraspecific competition – competition between members of the same population for the same resource – as the population grows ... I suggest that both density-dependent and independent factors operate simultaneously on wild turkey populations, where the relative strength of each is governed ... ... dependent and density-independent factors such as weather, introduced species, etc. ... density-dependent” above?) A factor whose effect does NOT depend on ... Mar 2, 2016 ... Density dependent factors are factors where the effects on the size or growth of a population vary with the density of the population itself. Identify the concept of density-dependent limiting factors, which are factors that affect population growth and become more intense as the population density ... These density-independent factors include food or nutrient limitation, pollutants in the environment, and climate extremes, including seasonal cycles such as ... Density-dependent factors include intraspecific competition and incidence of diseases and parasites. Competition among deer. As deer populations increase within ... Here we report on both density-dependent and density-independent effects in a murid rodent pest species, the multimammate rat Mastomys natalensis.
