Symposium Introduction
Populations, communities, ecosystems. The principles of their organization.
Population is a group of individuals of one species with the ability to freely
interbreed and indefinitely maintain its existence in
particular locality. population - it is a unity which
determined by the commonality of the territory occupied by individuals (or water), as well as
their common origin, the similarity of the structure and behavior. For example: all
individuals, living in a small lake, or all the trees of one species in the forest.
The closest in meaning to the term "population" is the concept
"Tribe". Consequently, the population consists of identical organisms, together
living in certain areas and linked by various
relationships, which provide them a sustainable existence in this
environment.
The word "population" comes from the Latin "populyus" - people, people.
Environmental population, thus, can be defined as the population of one
species in a particular area.
Members of one population have on each other no less interaction than
physical environmental factors or other kinds of organisms living together. In
populations occur in varying degrees, all forms of communication characteristic
for interspecies relations, but most pronounced mutualistic (mutually
helpful), and competitive. In all cases the populations have laws
allowing such use of limited resources environment to
to the abandonment of offspring. This is achieved mainly through
quantitative change in the population. Populations of many species have
properties that enable them to control their numbers.
