Density Independent Factors ,[object Object],The proportion that dies could be the same whether the population is dense or not - Forest Fire - Floods - Volcanic eruptions - Prolonged drought - Acid rain

Density Dependent Factors ,[object Object],[object Object],- Predation - Competition - Disease

Inter-specific and Intra-specific Interactions ,[object Object],INTER is competition between species e.g. GRAZING, PREDATION AND PARASITISM INTRA is competition within the species e.g. TERRITORIAL BEHAVIOUR, DOMINANCE, MATING, RESOURCES

Gause’s experiment with Paramecium The two species of Paramecium used by Gause grew well by themselves but P. caudium was out competed by P. aurelia when the two were grown together

Resource Partitioning ,[object Object],[object Object]

The Competitive Exclusion Principle Early in the twentieth century, two mathematical biologists, A.J.Lotka and V. Volterra developed a model of population growth to predict the outcome of competition Their models suggest that two species cannot compete for the same limiting resource for long. Even a minute reproductive advantage leads to the replacement of one species by the other
