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.

What term is used for the number of organisms of a species in a habitat?
The term used for the number of organisms of a species in a habitat is "population." Population refers to the group of individuals of the same species living in a specific area at a given time. Factors such as resource availability, environmental conditions, and interactions with other species can influence population size.
Can a habitat only include one niche?
No, a habitat can contain multiple niches. A niche refers to the role or position that an organism has within its environment, including how it obtains resources and interacts with other species. In a diverse habitat, there can be many different niches occupied by different species, allowing for a variety of interactions and relationships within the ecosystem.
What process keeps the number of total species on earth from growing exponentially through specitaion?
The process of natural selection helps to limit the number of species on Earth by acting as a filter, favoring certain traits that allow species to survive and reproduce in their environment. Additionally, competition for resources and habitat can limit the ability of new species to establish themselves. Lastly, geographic isolation and limited gene flow can prevent new species from forming.
What is a carrying capacity of the environment for a particular species?
The "carrying capacity" for a species is the total number of individuals that can get enough food to survive and reproduce.
What is the carrying capacity of the environment for the particular species?
The "carrying capacity" for a species is the total number of individuals that can get enough food to survive and reproduce.

What does the species richness of a community refer to?
Species richness refers to the number of species present in a community. It is a measure of biodiversity that provides information on the variety and diversity of different species within an ecosystem. Higher species richness indicates a more diverse and balanced ecosystem.
What best describes the process of plants and animals producing more offspring than are able to survive?
This process is known as overproduction or the production of more offspring than can survive. It is a common strategy employed by species to increase their chances of passing on their genes to the next generation despite the high mortality rate among the offspring. By producing a larger number of offspring, the species increases the likelihood that some will survive and reproduce.
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.
