Everywhere this species has gone, it has taken over local ecosystems. Is the species in question a weedy plant like the dandelions pictured here? No; that dubious honor has been given to our own species, Homo sapiens.

Their size and composition fluctuate in response to numerous factors, including seasonal and yearly changes in the environment, natural disasters such as forest fires and volcanic eruptions, and competition for resources between and within species. The study of populations is called demography.

Population diversity may be measured in terms of the variation in genetic and morphological features that define the different populations.

Populations consist all of the species living within a specific area, and populations fluctuate based on a number of factors: seasonal and yearly changes in the environment, natural disasters such as forest fires and volcanic eruptions, and competition for resources between and within species. The statistical study of population dynamics, demography, uses a series of mathematical tools to investigate how populations respond to changes in their environments.

Various methods can be used to measure the size and density of a population. For example, scientists often use quadrats to do this for plants. Dispersion patterns can give scientists information about a particular population. Three common dispersion patters are uniform, random, and clumped.
