Delayed density dependence describes the phenomenon where, in a resource-rich environment, a predator may not immediately convert prey consumed into offspring. Instead, it may take time for the population to reach equilibrium due to a lag in the effects of density-dependent factors. Overshoot and die-off refers to the boom-and-bust cycles of a population when it exceeds the carrying capacity of its environment. Extinction modeling involves predicting the probability of a species going extinct based on various factors. Metapopulation dynamics refer to the interactions between multiple populations of a species in different habitats.
