Abstract
Population ecology is the study of biological populations, and it includes diverse subfields: population dynamics concerns the size and structure of a population and examines the effects of environmental factors on it. In the study of population genetics, the changes of allele frequencies within populations and their distribution are especially interesting. The evolutionary change of populations may be studied using some biological characteristics.
