Most natural populations of a given species have density-dependent population regulation. Be it from a reduced food supply, or multi-year cycles where they provide ample food for their predators population to grow to the point they become the food supply being reduced until their predators population shrinks and the cycle begins again. Disease transmission also acts to keep populations in check when density increases too much where food is essentially unlimited. Negative feedback loops are fascinating and were unique in the sense that we’ve managed to short-circuit nearly all of them to virtually every other species detriment.
