Population Biology

Population biology is the study of how populations of organisms, such as animals, plants, or microorganisms, interact with each other and their environment. It examines factors like birth rates, death rates, migration, and competition, which influence population size and distribution over time. Researchers use this knowledge to understand ecological dynamics, assess biodiversity, and predict how populations respond to environmental changes. Insights from population biology are essential for conservation efforts, wildlife management, and understanding the impacts of human activities on ecosystems.
