A group of organisms that interbreed and produce fertile offspring. E.g a tiger - a single species with six subspecies surviving with 3 extinct
1 of 8
Population
A group of organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time + are capable of interbreeding. E.g the number of Indochinese Tigers.
2 of 8
Habitat
The environment in which a species normally lives. E.g the habitat of the Indochinese tiger.
3 of 8
Niche
A species' share of a habitat and the resources in it. An organisms ecological niche depends not only on where it lives but also what it does. E.g The tiger's niche is that of a top carnivore.
4 of 8
Community
A group of populations living and interacting each other in a common habitat. E.g In the community of an Asian rainforest
5 of 8
Ecosystem
A community of interdependent organisms and the physical environment they inhabit. E.g Rainforest ecosystems have a large biomass of trees with a canopy of over 50m in height.

Trophic Level
The Position that an organism occupies in a food chain, or a group of organisms in a community that occupy the same position in food chains. E.g Herbivore
7 of 8
