Expert Solution
Defining population

A population is a subgroup of individuals from a single species that inhabit a specific geographic area and interbreeds in sexually reproducing species. For some species, defining the geographic boundaries of a population is simple, while for others, it is more complicated.

The physical restrictions that a species may bear, such as temperature or aridity, as well as encroachment by other species, determine the geographic range of a population. The dynamics of population size change over time, whether the population is growing, declining, or keeping static through time, are often the initial considerations for population ecologists.
