The image represents where you caught each of the deer within your 10-square-mile study area. Based on this, what pattern of population distribution does the local population appear to have? Near-uniform distribution Clumped distribution Random distribution Why might a population distribution like this occur? Because individual deer do not care whether they are close to or far from another deer Because the deer are all gathering around sources of food Because individual deer keep away from one another as much as possible in order to reduce competition

Conservation Biology

The study of how to prevent the loss of biological diversity on the planet is called conservation. Biological diversity, also termed biodiversity, consists of various life forms found in a specific location or across the entire planet, including ecosystems, species, populations, and genes. Conservation thus aims to protect the diversity of life at all levels of biological organization.
