Wild populations fluctuate in size over time, but typically between upper and lower limits. A fundamental goal of population ecology is to determine the factors that provide these limits. While population regulation is clear from the census of numerous populations over time, the actual mechanisms responsible for the regulation are less obvious, perhaps due to a paucity of large-scale field experiments.

野生种群的大小随时间而波动，但通常在上限和下限之间。种群生态学的一个基本目标是确定提供这些限制的因素。虽然人口调控是明确的人口普查的众多人口随着时间的推移，实际机制负责的监管不太明显，也许是由于缺乏大规模的实地实验。
