Which pattern of dispersion is characterized by individuals being evenly spaced due to territorial behavior or competition for resources?
A
Uniform dispersion
B
Random dispersion
C
Clumped dispersion
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the three types of dispersion patterns: Uniform, Random, and Clumped. Each describes how individuals in a population are distributed in a given area.
Uniform dispersion occurs when individuals are evenly spaced. This pattern often results from territorial behavior or competition for resources, where individuals maintain a consistent distance from one another.
Random dispersion occurs when individuals are distributed unpredictably, without a discernible pattern. This is often seen in environments where resources are abundant and evenly distributed.
Clumped dispersion occurs when individuals are grouped together in patches. This pattern is common in populations where resources are unevenly distributed or where social behavior promotes grouping.
Based on the description in the problem, the pattern characterized by individuals being evenly spaced due to territorial behavior or competition for resources is Uniform dispersion.
