Along came a spider, who sat down beside her. She screamed, but RJ wouldn't smash it because spiders are a limiting factor for other insects in an ecosystem. In this video, other common limiting factors for populations are listed. Endangered, extinct, and threatened species are defined. This charming clip can be used when introducing population ecology in your life science class. Make sure to check out other related resources by clicking See All Related Jams.
