Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Competition for resources causes populations to shift most quickly from an exponential to a logistic population growth because resources become limiting and reproduction decreases, eventually leading to a stable population size. The other factors listed may affect population growth but may not have as significant an impact on the transition from exponential to logistic growth.
