If a population is in equilibrium, it has a growth rate of zero. In other words, the sum of births and immigrants equals the sum of deaths and emigrants per unit of time.

What is ecological unstable equilibrium?

an equilibrium point at which, if either population changes, the population sizes will diverge from, rather than return to, the equilibrium point; a combination of population sizes at which the two populations could coexist, but when the combination changed, no impetus exists to return to the equilibrium population sizes.

What does being in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium mean for a population?

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle stating that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors. When mating is random in a large population with no disruptive circumstances, the law predicts that both genotype and allele frequencies will remain constant because they are in equilibrium.
