What is the lynx?
This is a group of interbreeding individuals in the same location.
What is a population?

What is the Animal Kingdom?

What is a community?
This is what Kingdoms are divided into.
What is the Phylum? (plural, phyla)

What is the First Law of Thermodynamics?
If there is genetic variation in a population, and some varieties survive better than others in that environment, the population will adapt because of this process.
