Answer:
Conspecifics
Explanation:
While I’ve voiced my issue with the whole concept of species in the past, and dislike short answers, the answer is fairly simple: a group of organisms that are of the same species are called conspecifics.
The singular form, conspecific can also be used as an adjective and is derived from the prefix “con” meaning “with” and “specific” meaning “of or relating to a species.” The antonym is heterospecific, derived from the prefix “hetero” which means “different.” Again, it can be used as a noun as well as an adjective.
These words can be used whether the organisms are within the same population or not, but they are often used when discussing interactions of individuals or groups.
