Name the three types of population distribution, describe each, and explain the conditions that govern each.

Answer:

The three types of population distribution are uniform, random, and clumped. Uniform distribution is rare. Individuals are evenly spaced and there is fierce competition for resources. In random distribution, some individuals are close together, and some are spread apart. This occurs when there are sufficient resources available. In clumped distribution individuals are clustered around patchy resources. This is the most common type of distribution.
