In the mentioned case, the intrinsic and environmental factors influencing the size of the population should also be included in the computer model. The population size is primarily predicted by environmental and intrinsic factors.

The size of the population of any species is monitored by the factors like birth rate, death rate, limiting factors, and their accessibility, carrying capacity of the system, rate of migration, and others. All these elements should be taken into consideration in order to determine the changes observed in the population of rabbits in a meadow.
