Either the mice were so depleted of stress that the bodies hormonal glands antrophied to the point that the hormonal glands died off or something else is going on and any kind of perfection results in all living things dying.
I'd like to have this test run again, but introduce frequent bodily harm and fear. The mice should become militant, shouldnt fight each other except alpha maled, and should overpopulate to starvation.
Asia is a prime example that Universe 25 doesnt show you everything. If population density was really so important then asian populations would never have gotten so high. Also consider not all asian nations have the same level of population density.
Also, Afrika has overpuplation inspite of going well above sustainable food and irregular food intake. Possibly due to this same concept, but asia is far more decernable tell.
All this said I'm aware of certain counter examples. I'd love for it to be retested both as it might prove my earlier hypothesis, but remember how i said something else is at play? I cant indentify the mechanic, but it seems when a soceity gets to a certain level of drivelessness something else may be what is genuinely atrophying to the point of locally dying off resulting in all members becoming apathetic.
It isnt that those mice have become mgtow and feminists. Its that those mice dont have anything ro live for. No reward for overcoming the challenges they introduce through their own society. The reward of this seems to stem entirely from conflict, but aeems to ignore individual suffering.

it isn't about population density at all, they never reached peak population and most of the nesting areas went unused

My above comment asserts that population density has nothing to do with it and that asia is ebidence of that.
