Self-limiting may refer to:In
biology, a self-limiting organism or colony of organisms limits its own growth by its actions. For example, a single organism may have a maximum size determined by
genetics, or a colony of organisms may release waste which is ultimately toxic to the colony once it exceeds a certain
population. In some cases, the self-limiting nature of a colony may be advantageous, such as in the case of
parasites. If their numbers became too high, they would kill the host, and thus themselves. In
mechanical engineering, a
governor was a self-limiting device used to control the speed of mechanical equipment to prevent it from operating at unsafe speeds. Modern mechanical equipment is likely to be electronically controlled and limited.
