Which term do biologists use to describe the average number of individuals of a species per unit area?

Respuesta :

I think the answer is population density sorry if im wrong

Population density is the right term.

Population density of any species (plant, animal or humans) is the number of individuals found in a given unit of area. It is usually expresses as “X” species in “Y”

X  = number of species

Y = unit of area , it can be square feet, Square meter, Square kilometer, Square yard etc.  

For example , population of 1000 insects living in an area fo 1000 square feet has a population density of 1000/1000 insects per square feet = 1 insect per square feet.
