| Definitions |
A collection of organisms, all of the same species, that live in the same place. It is sometimes difficult to define the physical boundaries of a population. In the case of sexually reproducing organisms, the individuals within a population have the potential to reproduce with one another during the course of their lifetimes. 'Community', as often used to describe a group of humans, is a type of population. Classes for population already exist in IDO ('organism population', IDO_0000509) and OBI ('population', OBI_0000181). The definitions should be standardized across ontologies and only one term used. |

| editor note |
Still uncertain if this should include every organism of a species living in an area or any subset of them. For now make this a general term (unspecified) and then subclasses can be more specific. |
