When individuals join a population

• Aliens
• migration
• Immigration
• Emigration

A population is 

• a group of communities that exist in different places
• a group of organisms of one species that lives in the same area at the same time
• a group of people that populate one place at the same time on different planets

When you leave a population

• emigration
• mitigation

Carrying Capacity is

• the capacity of what one person can carry per day 
• how many animals you have in your daily bag limit at the end of the year
• wildebeest at a watering hole with zebras
• the maximum number of individuals that the environment can support
