When we took a tour through population ecology<\/a>, we mostly looked at populations of individual species in isolation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, though, populations of one species are rarely\u2014if ever!\u2014isolated from populations of other species. In most cases, many species share a habitat, and the interactions between them play a major role in regulating population growth and abundance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, the populations of all the different species that live together in an area make up what’s called an ecological\u00a0community<\/strong>. For instance, if we wanted to describe the ecological community of a coral reef, we would include the populations of every single type of organism we could find, from coral species to fish species to the single-celled, photosynthetic algae living in the corals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
