2.1 Populations
2.1 Populations
- To understand the life of organisms in an ecosystem it is not enough to study one individual; we study populations.
- A population is a group of individuals of the same species, able to reproduce with each other, living in the same place at the same time.
- Populations are not static.
- The number of individuals in some species stays steady for long periods; in others there is a rapid rise or a sudden collapse.
- This shows the interaction between organisms and environmental factors.
