The term "population" is preferred to "[[organism]]" because, while it is possible to describe the ''habitat'' of a single black bear, we may not find any particular or [[individual]] bear but the grouping of bears that [[constitute]] a [[Reproduction|breeding]] [[population]] and occupy a certain biogeographical area. Further, this habitat could be somewhat [[different]] from the habitat of another [[group]] or population of black bears living elsewhere. Thus it is neither the [[species]] nor the [[individual]] for which the term habitat is typically used. | The term "population" is preferred to "[[organism]]" because, while it is possible to describe the ''habitat'' of a single black bear, we may not find any particular or [[individual]] bear but the grouping of bears that [[constitute]] a [[Reproduction|breeding]] [[population]] and occupy a certain biogeographical area.
