There is no single definition to determine what makes one same or different species, but the best one that is offered is when the members of the population are reproductively isolated from other organisms and are capable of producing a fertile offspring. If these two criteria are met, they are generally considered to be the same species.
Of course, there are a number of problems associated with this, since it doesn't take into account asexual organisms, fertile hybrids, and any extinct organisms.
Phylum. Organisms in the same class belong to the same phylum, which is a higher taxonomic rank that groups organisms based on shared characteristics.
No, lions and tigers are not from the same species. Lions are of the species Panthera leo, while tigers are of the species Panthera tigris. They are both part of the Panthera genus, but belong to different species.
Members of the same species would have the most similar DNA, as they belong to the same species and share a more recent common ancestor compared to members of the same genus or order.
There are many species of Plovers which are a widely distributed group of wading birds belonging to the subfamily 'Charadriinae'.
Yes, species within the same family are more closely related to each other than species within the same order. Family is a taxonomic rank that is more specific and shows a closer genetic relationship between species, while order is a broader taxonomic rank that includes multiple families.
Population
Organisms of the same species can mate and produce offspring.

No, not normally. Please not that animals belonging to a different genus can NEVER be of the same species.

An individual is a single organism belonging to a population, which is a group of individuals of the same species living in the same area and capable of interbreeding.
Two individuals are considered members of the same species if they can reproduce and produce fertile offspring together. This ability to interbreed and have viable offspring is a key criterion for determining if two individuals belong to the same species.
Yes they are. For example the Burmese python, and the Indian python are both from the same family, but have diversified into separately recognised species. They are more closely related to each other - than to other species of snake.
Threads belonging to the same process share the same resources and address space.

They use echolocation!
