Dinosaurs in JWE come in all shapes and sizes and that they all contribute to the in-game population system in a very simple way. I have been thinking of a interesting concept where the sizes of the dinos can be a little bit more advanced, particularly with "Small Herbivore" and "Small Carnivore" class dinos.
The idea is where only certain "Small" type dinosaurs can contribute to the population pool of other certain other dinosaur species that aren't in the "Small" category but those said dino species will still do so with the "Small" class dino populations themselves regardless, for the sake of the idea of still balancing stuff out while playing in-game, plus it would probably feel too weird if the tiny dino populations don't get affected by a large group of giants around them.
Two examples I can say are these:
1. Compsognathus is a "Small Carnivore" class dino, but won't affect the populations of "certain Small Herb species, all Medium Herbs, all Armored Herbs, all Giant Herbs, and all Large Carns" only, but all other said dinos will still add to the population pool of the compies themselves.
2. Dracorex is a "Small Herbivore" class dino, but won't affect the populations of "certain Giant Herb species (ex: ok with Brachiosaurus but not ok with Nigersaurus)" only, but all other said dinos will still add to the population pool of the dracs themselves (assuming you edit the population pools of both dinos via the Dr. Wu DLC's social genes, of course, as it probably won't be the case by default).
