A group or organisms of the same kind living in the same place Stable environment, large body size, high parental care, mammals, humans A species on which other species in an ecosystem largely depend, such that if it were removed the ecosystem would change drastically. A group of populations that are separated by space but consist of the same species. These separated populations interact as individual members. High fecundity, small body size, unstable environment, dependant offspring, short life cycle, early maturity - small, reproduce fast, plants, bacteria, insects An event which is closest to, or immediately responsible for causing, some observed result. Actual reproductive rate of organism or population, measured by the number of gametes (eggs), seed set, or asexual reproductive structures The "real" reason something occurred.
