Answer: The scientific name is called POPULATION.
Explanation:
In basic ecological studies, POPULATION is defined as a group of interacting individual of the same type or species, living in the same area or habitat and at the same time.
Furthermore, to study a population of organisms, the different characteristics seen include:
--> Population size: This is important as it affects the survival of a given species in a habitat. A small population may be easily wiped out by events such a fire but a large population stands a better chance of survival.
--> Population frequency: This is simply how often the species occurs at different sites in a habitat.
--> Population density: this is the average number of individuals of a species per unit area of the habitat.
--> Percentage cover: This is the area of ground occupied by a given species in its habitat.
--> Distribution: This is the way in which individuals of a particular population are arranged in a habitat. They may be clumped, evenly spaced or randomly spaced.
