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 population is a group of organisms belonging to the same species that live in the same area and interact with one another. A community is all of the populations of different species that live in the same area and interact with one another. A community is composed of all of the biotic factors of an area.


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.

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.


How is a community different from a populations?

A community is a group of interacting populations of different species in a defined habitat, while a population consists of individuals of the same species in the same area at the same time. Essentially, a community includes multiple populations of different species, whereas a population refers to a group of individuals of the same species.


What are many populations in one area called?

Many populations in one area are called a community. This term refers to different species interacting and coexisting in a specific habitat or ecosystem.


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.


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.


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).

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.


What type of ecology focuses on dynamic changes occurring in one species?

Population ecology focuses on studying the dynamic changes that occur within a single species, such as birth rates, death rates, and dispersal patterns. It examines how these factors influence the growth, distribution, and interactions of populations over time.
