6 (8 pts) Plants and animal distributions are often limited by environmental factors. Based on the lecture and text, list 4 limiting factors. How would an animal or plant adapt to each of your limiting factors?

Four dispersal limiting factors.

Explanation:

Dispersal is an ecological process, which involves the movement of the population from their source of origin to the place of settlement. This can be active or passive. Climatic feature: the survival rate of species depends upon their ability to tolerate environmental constraints, like rising in temperature of the region, etc. Physical features: mountain ranges may act as a natural barrier in dispersal. Internal ability or trait: Animal or plant inability to propagate and seed dispersal. Human factors: The rate of dispersal might also be affected due to man who deliberately obstructs the path of dispersal. Plant or animal may adapt or develop some techniques to overcome these factors like adapting to the hot and humid climates or by producing excessive seeds that can restrain the constraints or can camouflage themselves to be protected from man or other species. It depends on interbreeding and natural selection of species habitat as specified by darwin the survival of the fittest.
