all the populations in a given area make up a community. For example, animals, and microorganisms in a lake make up a community.
an ecosystem includes all the members of the community (living or biotic factors) plus the physical environment (abiotic factors) in which they live.
One step down From an ecosystem, which would be all the members of a species WITHIN an ecosystem, would therefore be a community
an animal that eats plants or other animals
The members of the ecosystem are biotic and abioticbio means life

biodiversity. Biodiversity refers to the variety of different species and their interactions within an ecosystem. A high level of biodiversity indicates a healthy and balanced ecosystem that can better withstand environmental changes or disturbances.
A population is a single species within a specific geographical area. Geographical area can be literal (like a tide pool) or artificial (a 25'x25' plot of forest) depending on the study. A community is made up of all the individual animal species living within a specific geographical area. For example, in a tide pool the community would be the seastars, crabs, barnacles, algae, etc. An ecosystem is all the individual species living within a specific geographical area plus all abiotic(non-living) factors with which they interact. Using the tide pool example, an ecosystem includes all the animals above but also the seawater, rocks, minerals, wind, sunlight, etc.
Over population of a particular species will cause the food chain in that ecosystem to become unstable. Over population will also reduce the amount of producers within an ecosystem (depending if the over population is of a consumer) and will lead to the decrease of other animal species inhabiting the same ecosystem.
