HELP ASAP!! DUE TOMORROW!! WILL MEDAL!! I need to summarize this A variety of factors affects the ability of wildlife to successfully reproduce and to maintain their populations over time. Disease, predator/prey relationships, varying impacts of weather conditions from season to season (e.g., early freezing, heavy snows, flooding, and drought), accidents, environmental pollution, and habitat destruction and degradation are among these factors. Some naturally-caused as well as culturally-induced limiting factors serve to prevent wildlife populations from reproducing in numbers greater than their habitat can support. An excess of such limiting factors, however, leads to threatening, endangering, and eliminating whole species of animals. The most fundamental of life’s necessities for any animal are food, water, shelter, and space in a suitable arrangement. Without these essential components, animals cannot survive. Wildlife populations are not static. They continuously fluctuate in response to a variety of stimulating and limiting factors. Natural limiting factors tend to maintain populations of species at levels within predictable ranges. This kind of “balance in nature” is not static, but is more like a teeter-totter than a balance. This cycle appears to be almost totally controlled by the habitat components of food, water, shelter, and space, which are also limiting factors. Habitat components are the most fundamental and thereby the most critical of limiting factors in most natural settings.
