Density-dependent and Density-Independent Latitude: 65°10'36.12"N Longitude: 127°26'51.92"W

Density-dependent: Factors that have a greater and greater effect as the density of the population increases. These include the effects of competition, predation, and crowding.
          ex. Distemper among wolf-packs
          ex. Infestation of Wooly Adelgid

Density-independent factors affect a population the same way no matter what the size of the affected population.
          ex. Wild-fires
          ex. Deforestation
