As an anecdote: if you take an ant population (or any controllable population), and put it into a confined space with constrained resources, the population eventually dies due to one of two things:
1. Elimination of resources
2. Excessive waste product (in this case, excrement and bodily wastes; pollution)
- epistasis 6y agoYou seem to be talking about the need of a species to rely on a greater ecosystem in order to survive. However, I'm not sure how that relates to demand elasticity and energy efficiency. Perhaps you could be a bit more explicit?
- jjk166 6y agoYeah, and if the sun turns off and stops pumping 174 PW into our system, we'd be pretty screwed. Luckily we do not live in a confined space with constrained resources.
