>>1779085>implying its /pol/but anon it's ecology 101 that population density is limited by the carrying capacity of an ecosystem.
Normally the cap is from:
>lack of food>predationbut humans have overcome these two caps with:
>agriculture and transporting food>eliminating natural predatorsso that leaves disease as the only limit on the carry capacity of modern human ecosystems. Humans have tried to remove this cap with modern medicine, but disease is always evolving, so it's a red-queen kind of race.
It's the same reason in the eastern woodlands, the elimination of predators has caused deer to become overpopulated, leading to starvation and the CWD epidemics. Some people also think this is why tick populations have exploded. Some hunters think if they feed deer overwinter it'll help the population, but really the should allow them to starve so that the population can reach equilibrium again
you should pay better attention in your bio classes anon
