Compare and contrast populations and communities
zloy xaker [14]

Soccer players hang out with soccer players, spiders hang out with spiders. We split into "our people" within our population. 

I know that may be a little confusing, but if you have anymore questions feel free to ask. I hope I was able to help. Best of luck!
