Milkweed Bugs Limited (6.1a)
1. Which variable has the largest
effect on population size?
• Volume of space available is the
limiting factor
– Volume of 1200 cm3
= population size of
600
– Volume of 800 cm3
= 400 milkweed bugs
– Volume of 400 cm3
= 200 milkweed bugs
• Other factors only altered the first
2 – 4 months and time it took for
population to stabilize
2. Which of the variables
are biotic? Abiotic?

4. • Volume limits number of bugs that can
live in a given space
• Females per 100 changes the number
of adults that can reproduce
• Clutch frequency changes how often
bugs reproduce
• Eggs per clutch changes the number of
offspring that can later reproduce
• Survival rate changes number of
offspring reaching maturity
