Density Dependent Factor

A limiting factor that depends on the population size, for example, a large population needs more to hunt
Real World Example
Imagine you've planned a big party but underestimated how much food to prepare, and as more guests arrive, the snacks run out quickly. This situation is similar to how a dense population in nature requires more resources like food to sustain itself. Just as more party guests mean you need more snacks to keep everyone happy, a larger population means a greater need for resources, highlighting how density-dependent factors, like food availability, are crucial in regulating population sizes.
