The main way individuals are added to the population (with animals) is the birth of new offspring.
emigration
If a population does not have a particular dominant allele, it could return to the population through the immigration of new individuals carrying the dominant allele.
Emigration is the process of individuals leaving a particular area to settle in another, impacting the population dynamics of both the source and destination locations. In population biology, emigration can lead to a decrease in population size in the area of origin, potentially affecting genetic diversity and resource availability. It can also introduce new individuals to a population in the destination area, which can enhance genetic diversity and influence population growth. Overall, emigration plays a crucial role in shaping the distribution and evolution of species.
Migration can introduce new genes into a population and increase genetic diversity, thus potentially disrupting the genetic equilibrium. If individuals from a different population arrive and interbreed with the local population, they can alter allele frequencies and introduce new variations. Over time, this can impact the gene pool and change the genetic equilibrium of the population.
Genetic variation, variation in alleles of genes, occurs both within and among populations. Genetic variation is important because it provides the "raw material" for natural selection.

Migration of individuals into or out of a population provides a source of genetic variation. This movement introduces new genes into the gene pool, increasing diversity within the population.
This is known as founder effect, a phenomenon where a small group of individuals migrates or is isolated from a larger population, establishing a new population with genetic differences from the original population due to the limited genetic diversity of the founding members.
Australia has a population of 23.2 million people and New Zealand has a population of 4.51 million. The two populations, when added together, equal 27,710,000.
