An example where space would be a limiting factor would be this: Wolves live in a very good habitat for them - there are plenty of animals to be found and eaten. However, because their current habitat is rather limited, they cannot expand beyond a certain size because otherwise they would interfere with the habitat of each other and also reduce the amount of necessary food in the environment.
