Answer 1

@surryyy \(Nice~to~meet~you~!!\) I would say, the 4 properties scientists look at to predict population sizes is \(\bf immigration rate, emmigration rate, birth rate, and~ death ~rate.\)

Answer 2

(1) Birth rate (depends on litter size, gestational period, age at sexual maturity)
(2) Death rate (related to longevity or life expectancy)
(3) Imigration Rate: Net migration (immigration - emigration)
(4) Available resources (limiting factors), such as food, water, and geographical space (habitat), in relation to body size
