Across
  1. 6. members of a species exiting an area
  2. 7. members of a species living in the same place at the same time
  3. 9. population growth begins exponentially but then levels out at carrying capacity
  4. 12. members of the species are dispersed randomly
  5. 14. the arrangement of individuals in space
  6. 15. change in size over time
Down
  1. 1. members of the species lived grouped together
  2. 2. limiting factors that depend on how dense the population is (food, shelter, water)
  3. 3. members of the species moving into an area
  4. 4. control the growth of a population
  5. 5. the number per unit area or volume - how close together they are
  6. 8. members of the species lived equally spaced out
  7. 10. limiting factors that don't depend on how dense the population is (humans and natural disasters)
  8. 11. birth rate becomes equal to death rate / the amount of a species an area can hold
  9. 13. the growth rate becomes faster with each generation
