Abstract
A population is a basic elementary unit at the species-population level. In the sense of evolution genetics, as population is designated a minimum self-propagating group of single-species individual animals which inhabits a certain space for an evolutionary long period, generates a self-maintained genetic system and forms its own ecological niche. A population is always an adequately numerous group of individual animals which is isolated from other similar groups for a large number of generations.
