Population Dispersion

The way in which individuals of a population are spread out is called

• population density

• survivorship

• population dispersion

• logistic curve

The dispersion pattern (distribution pattern) of a population describes the arrangement of individuals within a habitat at a particular point in time -

Dandelions and other plants that have wind-dispersed seeds spread widely and sprout where they happen to fall describes which type of dispersion?

• Clumped dispersion

• Uniform dispersion

• Random dispersion

The dispersion pattern (distribution pattern) of a population describes the arrangement of individuals within a habitat at a particular point in time -

A large population of geese gathered together in a marsh is which type of dispersion?

• Clumped dispersion

• Uniform dispersion

• Random dispersion

Animals that maintain defined territories, such as nesting penguins, also exhibit which type of dispersion?

• Clumped dispersion

• Uniform dispersion

• Random dispersion

The spatial distribution of individuals within the population.

• density

• dispersion

• geographical distribution

Elephants show this type of population dispersion

• clumped

• Uniform

• Random

Wind blows dandelion seeds and therefore they have this type of population dispersion

• random

• uniform

• clumped

Which image below shows clumped dispersion?

Nesting birds often space themselves evenly from other nests. This pattern is called

• clumped dispersion.

• uniform dispersion.

• random dispersion

• scatter dispersion

Territorial bird species protecting their own space show this type of population dispersion

• clumped

• uniform

• random
