Population ecology is the study of these and other questions about what factors affect population and how and why a population changes over time. The study of population ecology includes understanding, explaining, and predicting species distributions.

Populations cannot grow exponentially indefinitely. Exploding populations always reach a size limit imposed by the shortage of one or more factors such as water, space, and nutrients or by adverse conditions such as disease, drought and temperature extremes.
