Fauna
Populations come first before communities. Populations are a group of organisms of the same species living in the same area, while communities are made up of various populations interacting with each other in a specific habitat.
A community is an assemblage of different populations that live together in a specific area. It includes various species interacting and coexisting within an ecosystem.
A biological community is formed by various populations of different species interacting and living together in a specific area, such as a forest or a coral reef.
An example of two or more populations of different species living and interacting in the same area is a forest ecosystem, where populations of trees, birds, insects, and mammals coexist and rely on each other for resources such as food and shelter. Another example is a coral reef, where various populations of fish, coral, and algae interact and depend on each other for survival in the same ecosystem.
The term that defines a group of the same species interacting in a given area is "population." In ecology, a population consists of individuals of the same species that live in a specific geographic area and have the potential to interbreed. Their interactions can influence various ecological processes, such as competition, predation, and reproduction.
The next level of organization within a biome after population is community, which refers to the various populations of different species interacting and coexisting in a specific area. A community includes all the different populations of plants, animals, and microorganisms interacting with each other.
The populations of all the species in a specific area are referred to as a community. This community consists of various organisms, including plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, all interacting with one another and their environment. The dynamics of these populations can be influenced by factors such as resource availability, predation, competition, and environmental changes. Understanding these interactions is crucial for studying ecosystem health and biodiversity.
Fauna
The three subdivisions of the biological environment are ecosystems, communities, and populations. Ecosystems encompass all living organisms and their physical environment in a specific area. Communities refer to the various species living in the same area and interacting with each other. Populations are groups of individuals of the same species living in a particular area.
A community of organisms is made up of populations of differnet species that interact with each other in some way.
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.
