Unless specified, population refers to all lifeforms within the given area; if a species is given with the population, then yes, it does contain only one species. For example, the bird population in a country would consist of many species, but the emperor penguin population of Antractica would be only one.

what is the difference between species, population, and community.?
A species is a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. A population consists of all individuals of the same species living in a specific area at a given time. A community is made up of different populations of species living in the same area and interacting with each other.
What happens when members from separated populations do not reproduce with each other?
Over time, the populations may become genetically distinct from one another due to accumulation of different mutations. This can lead to the evolution of new species if the genetic differences become significant enough to prevent successful reproduction between individuals from the two populations.
How does reproduction help in providing stability to populations of species?
Reproduction is directly linked to the stability of the population of species because it helps in replacing the aging population with the new population and thus ensures the survival of the species. In the absence of reproduction one particular species will disappear with time.
All of the populations in an ecosystem?
All the populations in an ecosystem refer to the various species of organisms living and interacting within a specific environment. These populations may include plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms that are interdependent and contribute to the overall functioning of the ecosystem. Changes in one population can have ripple effects on other populations within the ecosystem.
What are nonexamples of population?
what are examples of biotic
How are community and populations different?
A population is a group of one type of species. A community is several different populations together.
Did the rodent populations appear to benefit from the elimination of the rattlesnakes?
Yes because the population increased in 1999.
Is a group of different populations living in the same area make up a community?
In a population there will be only one kind of species. species share same type of requirement at the same time in a given area. this is called population.By Ayaz GulSWAT Pakistantwilight_moment@yahoo.com
Describe how a population differs from a species?
There is one big difference between a population and a species. Populations do not necessarily have to refer to living things whereas species does.
What is one cause of speciation?
One cause of speciation is reproductive isolation or the separation of the population of a species from other populations so that it can change without keep getting mixed with other populations( and therefore becoming identical to other populations).
Do populations make up communities?
A community is a group of many different species, while a population is made up of individuals of one particular species.
When does Predation occurs with in individuals?
Predation occurs when individuals in one species-population each kill multiple individuals in one or more other species-populations to use them as a resource.
How is a community different from a populations?
A community is a group of many different species, while a population is made up of individuals of one particular species.
What is meant by the phrase a community of living things?
A community is made up of one or more species from various populations. Species of different populations develop dependencies such as food webs in a community. A community is simply a variation of species in one ecosystem... Lions and polar bares do not belong to the same community because they live in different ecosystems with different resources. With this, the phrase a community of living things simply means the variation of species in the same ecosystem competing for and sharing the same resources such as food and light. I hope this helps.
How are a population and community different?
A population biologist studies the number(s) of species as they increase or decline in relation to their density or some environmental factor. Community ecologists study the numbers and interactions of all the species in a given location.
What is the potential to interbreed in the evolutionary species concept?
Means a species always has that potential to breed, one with another. Still, different populations of that species may be too geographically divided to actually interbreed.
Can Southern African San people and Australian Aborigines have a fertile offspring?
Of course the can. Humans are one species under the biological species concept and all populations of humans can interbreed.
