Define 'Individual': A single organism that forms part of a species.
Ecology: The study of the interactions of organisms with their physical and

and make up of populations within an ecosystem.
Population ecology: is concerned with fluctuations in the size of a population and the
factors, both physical and social that regulates these fluctuations.
