Overpopulation (Zoology 🦥)
Overpopulation or overabundance is a state in which the population of a species is larger than the carrying capacity of its environment. This may be caused by increased birth rates, lowered mortality rates, reduced predation or large scale migration, leading to an overabundant species and other animals in the ecosystem ...

Know Where: Nearest Pint, Pub Density Map. “There has been quite a bit in the news recently about 2 pubs per day closing according to the British Beer and Pub Association. That got me thinking about which areas of the country were best served and where were the dry zones? Nearest Pint, shows pub density per 10,000 population across every parliamentary constituency in Great Britain.”

The speed at which a virus spreads depends on:
1. How dense the population is.

More than 23 million people live in Taiwan, but the population is far from evenly distributed.
In fact, about half of the population is concentrated in just a small number of districts, mainly in major urban areas.

The #koala #Phascolarctos #cinereus (Diprotodontia) is a threatened species in Queensland and New South Wales, which, however, according to F. Saltré et al. (2026), has an excessive #populationdensity in #Australia's #MountLofty Ranges, leading to mass starvation, which is why fertility-control strategies for conservation may become necessary

Not exactly. What the issue is is "the cold parts of Canada are too thinly populated to have the electric infrastructure necessary for quick charging to allow you to travel between cities reliably in the extreme cold". We can discuss the details - the math shows pretty conclusively how electric vehicles are not an alternative in a lot of situations in the prairies and the north - but it's all stuff I've gone through before. If you're one of the "just switch to electric already!" city-dwellers from lower BC or the Windsor-Quebec City corridor who's never lived elsewhere, you really don't have a frame of reference for this.
"Canada is too cold for electric cars" is a straw-man argument that nobody is making.

Reihoku (苓北町, Reihoku-machi) is a #town located in #AmakusaDistrictKumamoto Prefecture, #Japan. As of 31 August 2024, the town had an estimated population of 6,264 in 3,016 households, and a #populationDensity of 93 persons per km2. The total area of the town is 67.58 km2 (26.09 sq mi).

Also, the problem is not #overpopulation, the problem is spots of high #populationdensity. Big difference. A vast interconnected network of small self-sufficient villages/cities in exchange of support based on mutual help is long therm sustainable. Of course it doesn't suit if the goal is to make profit off of other people's work.

A new article in *Science* summarizes ongoing changes in demographics and fertility, but identifies only economic and health-related factors as likely drivers (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aed1652). It fails to acknowledge the strong negative relationship between population density and reproduction that is seen throughout the animal kingdom and also in humans (e.g., https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8549112/).

Indiana is the 16th most densely populated state in the USA, but this region in the hills of south-central has about the same population density as much of West Virginia. It’s very rare that I see anyone else in the state forests of eastern Monroe or western Brown Counties when I’m out hiking. #Indiana #PopulationDensity

A 3D Look at the Largest Population Density Centers.
It can be difficult to comprehend the true sizes of megacities, or the global spread of 8 billion people, but this series of population density maps makes the picture abundantly clear.
Created using the EU’s population density data and mapping tool Aerialod by Alasdair Rae, the 3D-rendered maps highlight demographic trends and geographic constraints.https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/3d-mapping-the-worlds-largest-population-densities/
