A population is always of the same species, but a species may consist of more than one population. Generally, population is defined as a group of organisms of one species that interbreed and live in the same place at the same time. Species can be defined in different ways, either by looking at the similarities between organisms, or by looking at the interbreeding frequency (in a situation in which populations were to be put in the same habitat). All in all, species is a useful label for classification, but not so useful for constructing biological models.
