Keeping this in consideration, how do you define a species?
The definition of a species as a group of interbreeding individuals cannot be easily applied to organisms that reproduce only or mainly asexually. Also, many plants, and some animals, form hybrids in nature.

What is an example of a biological population?
Population biology is a subset study within ecology that evaluates factors that affect populations. A population is defined as a group of the same species living in a similar geographical area.

What does a species contain?
A group of organisms having many characteristics in common and ranking below a genus. Organisms that reproduce sexually and belong to the same species interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
11
How a species is formed?
In peripatric speciation, a subform of allopatric speciation, new species are formed in isolated, smaller peripheral populations that are prevented from exchanging genes with the main population. It is related to the concept of a founder effect, since small populations often undergo bottlenecks.
12
Are a donkey and a horse the same species?
Hinney, mules, liger and other animals that are produced by breeding between different species are infertile. The definition of species says that, those animals who can breed to produce a fertile offspring are of same species. Mule is produced by breeding between male donkey and female horse.

Is a dog a species?
But among dogs, which are well known for their hybrid (or mongrel) varieties, different breeds can mate and have viable offspring, so they are all found under the umbrella of a single species, Canis familiaris. Dogs are highly unusual in their variation, from the Chihuahua to the Great Dane.

What is an example of a community?
Community, also called biological community, in biology, an interacting group of various species in a common location. For example, a forest of trees and undergrowth plants, inhabited by animals and rooted in soil containing bacteria and fungi, constitutes a biological community.
