Implicit in the model is that the carrying capacity of the environment does not change, which is not the case. The carrying capacity varies annually: for example, some summers are hot and dry whereas others are cold and wet. In many areas, the carrying capacity during the winter is much lower than it is during the summer.

Species are divided into two categories based on a variety of features of their life history patterns: r-selected species, which have large numbers of offspring, and K-selected species, which have few offspring.

Life history traits affect the life table of an organism. A species’ life history is genetically determined and shaped by the environment and natural selection.

An accurate model should be able to describe the changes occurring in a population and predict future changes.
