2.Examples of density dependent factors are food, shelter, predation, competition, and diseases while examples of density independent factors are natural calamities like floods, fires, tornados, droughts, extreme temperatures, and the disturbance of the habitat of living organisms.
The difference between the two is that density-dependent limiting factors rely on population size; the larger a population, the bigger impact a density-dependent limiting factor will have.Density-independent limiting factors do NOT rely on population size, instead they affect all populations equally.f the population density in the ecosystem were to increase, competition over these cacti would increase, making this a density-dependent limiting factor. Only a certain density of Cactus Wren can be supported in an ecosystem. Another example of a density-dependent limiting factor is disease.
