There's been a nine percent rise in the prison population (= the number of people in prison).
The country is facing a population explosion (= sudden growth in the number of people).
The UN is investigating new methods of population control (= limiting the growth of the number of people).
Throughout the war, there were horrific casualties among the civilian populations of both countries.
In 1992 the population of Cairo was approximately 6,500,000.

With the restrictions on hunting, deer populations have begun to grow.
More than half of the world's working population has no formal employment or social security arrangements.
Clusters were identical to those used to assign populations to groups.
High bruchid populations in treatments with parasitoid introduction were reduced by 50-75% compared to the control treatments without parasitoids.
In the general case of mobile heavies, the motion of all three populations (electrons, protons and heavies) becomes strongly coupled.
Using these methods, the resistance status of parasite populations can be analysed by testing representative numbers of individual nematode larvae or adults.
They thus represent a perfect natural system of comparable populations.
A wider study including denser molecular sampling of populations and a re-evaluation of purported morphological differences will help to confirm this.
Both of these will be affected by migration, movement and intermixing between human populations in endemic areas.
Indeed, in natural populations of cyprinids, and animals in general, there are few obvious symptoms of disease.
