When the resources in the habitat are unlimited, each species has the ability to grow in number. Here the population grows in an exponential or geometric fashion. dN/dt = rN

Limited resources leads to competition between individuals and the ‘fittest’ individual will survive and reproduce. This is called logistic growth

\(\frac{dN}{dt}\) = rN\(\frac{(K-N)}{K}\)
