But you wouldn't know it after reading articles about shooting breeders off to space to populate the cosmos.  |
Logistically or maybe periodically. If a limiting factor only increases seasonally, then population will go up and down w/ the seasons (periodic). If a species is invasive and is growing due to finding a larger environment then population will rapidly climb then stabilize somewhere (logistic). The limiting factor (social or otherwise) is what sets the maximum number of beings.
