Various limiting factors can retard the growth of a predator population. The greatest limiting factor is generally the availability of prey. The predators depend on the prey population for sustenance, and if prey population dwindles, predator population does as well. Other factors can limit a population as well, such as the abudance of abiotic resources (water, etc) and territory.

How do ecosystems survive in nature?
An ecosystem is maintained by keeping a balance, such as a balance between the number of resources and the number of the users. Or the balance between predators and prey. Also, it helps by humans not destroying the habitat.
How does a predator increase numbers of species in an ecosystem?
When a predator reduces the number of one species in a habitat, the population of competing species can increase. With less competition for food, water, and shelter, a species can thrive and reproduce more rapidly than when it is being out-competed.
