Population dynamics is the up and down swings of a wildlife population across space and time.
Limiting factors are items in short supply. Each species requires certain, cover, habitat structure and size.
Fragmentation impacts biodiversity. Some species become isolated and can't maintain viable populations sizes, while others require large home ranges to survive.
Endangered and threatened species refer to declining populations.
Reintroductions is the intentional return of wildlife via relocation. Repopulation is a natural process where wildlife returns on their own as suitable habitat becomes available.
