What factors limit what you can do when you are on vacation? Location? Weather? Resources? Parents? If you are at a campground or at a beach, what affects the tourist population? Does an influx of campers into one area affect other organism populations, or vice versa? How about when large numbers of frogs migrate into a favourite campground or a cougar claims the area?
Many factors limit where you can go and what you can do. Similar factors also limit many organism populations.
In this lesson you will explore the following question:
- How do limiting factors influence the distribution and range of organisms?
