Malta's work regarding population dynamics came from observation of what happened when a population was greater than the resource to support it. How is such a population controlled?

Population dynamics can be described as the size of a particular population and the environmental and biological factors which influence it.

For human populations, a population which is greater than the resources can be controlled by decreasing the number of births in that population. It can be controlled by people migrating from the place due to less resources available.

For animals, the population can be controlled by increasing the amount of predators for the particular population so that they decline in number. Or shifting of the organisms can be done to places where there are enough resources available.
