20. According to the passage, which of the following is a true statement about density-dependent factors in population growth?
They ultimately account for long-term population levels.
They have little to do with long-term population dynamics.
They are always more easily isolated and described than those that are density-independent.
They include random environmental events.
They contradict current ecological assumptions about population dynamics.
21. According to the passage, all of the following behaviors have been exhibited by different populations EXCEPT:
roughly constant population levels from year to year
regular cycles of increases and decreases in numbers
erratic increases in numbers correlated with the weather
unchecked increases in numbers over many generations
sudden declines in numbers from time to time
22. The discussion concerning population in lines 24-40 serves primarily to
demonstrate the difficulties ecologists face in studying density-dependent factors limiting population growth
advocate more rigorous study of density-dependent factors in population growth
prove that the death rates of any population are never entirely density-independent
