What are examples of a population?

Answer 1

Examples of a population are listed below.

A population includes all members of the same species that are capable of interbreeding within a defined area.

If you define the area as Amboseli National Park, you could discuss the population of spotted hyenas within the park. If you define the area as Jaipur City, India, you could discuss the population of langurs. You could even define your area as three specific city blocks in Washington, DC and study the population of rats living there.
