Same species, same area, can interbreed

Max population environment can sustainably support

Birth rate

Death rate

New individuals moving into a population

Natality, Immigration, Mortality, Emigration

$N = \frac{M \times C}{R}$

Competition, disease, predation (stronger when crowded)

Rapid growth then crash when resources run out

Sustainable growth levelling at carrying capacity
