Which of the following is an incorrect statement about the regulation of populations?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. The logistic equation reflects the effect of density-dependent factors, which can ultimately stabilize popula- tions around the carrying  capacity.
  2. Density-independent factors have an increasingly greater effect as a population's density increases. 
  3. High densities in a population may cause physiological changes that inhibit reproduction.
  4. Because of the overlapping nature of population-regulating factors, it is often difficult  to precisely deter- mine their cause-and-effect  relationships.
