There are many factors that affect population size including:

  • diseases from other animals
  • lack of food and water/an abundance of food water
  • predators
  • shelter/no shelter
  • Birth Rate/Death Rate

If there are no diseases transmitted from other animals, lots of food for every animal, no predators, and plenty of shelter, the population size will increase. However, when the population increases, there will be more competition for the factors listed above so the population decreases due to lack of food/shelter/etc.
