Reflection:
- The carrying capacity for the deer population according to the date from the attached sheet above is 16 because the population remained at 16 for several generations before slowing down to a population of 14.
- The 10th generation experienced overshoot at a population of 22 deer before dropping to a population of 4 deer in the 11th generation.
- The 11th generation experienced die-off because it immediately followed the generation of overshoot.
- The threat of wolves is a density dependent factor.
- Some density independent factors are resources like food, water, and shelter.
