Population

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to manage a group chat with all your friends who live in the same neighborhood. Just like this group chat, a population consists of all organisms of the same species living in the same area, interacting and sharing resources. In both cases, the key connection is that each member shares a common location and interactions are more frequent due to close proximity, akin to how all your friends in the neighborhood are more likely to meet up and exchange messages because they live nearby, just like organisms in a population share resources and habitats.
