Populations and Communities

Population

A population is made up of a group of organisms of the same species that are capable of interbreeding and that live in a specific area. A group of tarsiers that are found in the island of Bohol is an example of a population.

A community is made up of all the different populations of different species that interact and coexist in a specific area. The group of tarsiers in the forests of Bohol and the humans, plants, and other animals with which they interact in Bohol, comprise a community.
