community A general term applied to any grouping of populations of different organisms found living together in a particular environment; essentially, the biotic component of an ecosystem. The organisms interact (by competition, predation, mutualism, etc.) and give the community a structure. Globally, the climax communities characteristic of particular regional climates are called biomes. See also INDIVIDUALISTIC HYPOTHESIS.
