In ecology, a population is a group of organisms of the same species which inhabit the same geographical area and are capable of interbreeding. [2] [3] The area of a sexual population is the area where interbreeding is possible between any opposite-sex pair within the area and more probable than cross-breeding with individuals from other areas.
N1 = number of individuals at time 1; N0 = number of individuals at time 0; B = number of individuals born; D = number of individuals that died; I = number of individuals that immigrated; E = number of individuals that emigrated between time 0 and time 1. Intrinsic rate of increase: (dN/dt)(1/N) = r r= intrinsic rate of increase
A group of individuals within an investigator-delimited area smaller than the geographic range of the species and often within a population (as defined above). A local population could be a disjunct population as well. Subpopulation: An arbitrary spatially delimited subset of individuals from within a population (as defined above). Immigration
The number of individuals of a species living in a defined area. population distribution See range. population ecology A branch of ecology which deals with the dynamics of populations within species, and the interactions of these populations with environmental factors. Also called autecology. population size
A bear with a salmon. Interspecific interactions such as predation are a key aspect of community ecology.. In ecology, a community is a group or association of populations of two or more different species occupying the same geographical area at the same time, also known as a biocoenosis, biotic community, biological community, ecological community, or life assemblage.
World population pyramid from 1950 to projected in 2100 (UN, World Population Prospects 2017) A population pyramid (age structure diagram) or "age-sex pyramid" is a graphical illustration of the distribution of a population (typically that of a country or region of the world) by age groups and sex; it typically takes the shape of a pyramid when the population is growing.

Gen Z was born between 1997 and 2012 and is considered the first generation to have largely grown up using the internet, modern technology and social media. Gen Alpha speaks in confusing slang ...
Bergmann's rule - Penguins on the Earth (mass m, height h) [1] Bergmann's rule is an ecogeographical rule that states that, within a broadly distributed taxonomic clade, populations and species of larger size are found in colder environments, while populations and species of smaller size are found in warmer regions.
