Population density is the number of individuals per unit geographic area, for example, number per square meter, per hectare, or per square kilometer.For example, a population of 100 insects that live in an area of 100 square meters has a density of 1 insect per square meter.
Four essential cycles which bring about the fluctuations in the density of the number of population in a given territory are natality, mortality, migration and emigration.
