Great analysis but many animal populations actually do self-regulate before resource depletion. Wolves exhibit territorial behavior that limits pack density, and some rodent species undergo physiological stress responses that reduce fertility when overcrowded. It's not conscious decision-making like humans could theoretically do, but these mechanisms evolved preciesly because they maintain equilibrium.
