carrying capacity
emigration
immigration

What happens if a population grows past its carrying capacity?
The population keeps growing
The population starts to die off
The entire species will go extinct
The carrying capacity just increases
This may cause a population to increase

all of these
Something that regulates the size of a population is called...
