Three types of distribution patterns occur in wild populations of plants and animals. They are uniform, random, and clumped. Choose from the drop down menus the statements and examples of populations provided to identify the correct distribution patterns. Statements: Organisms are grouped together; occurs in highly competitive environments. No pattern exists in organism distribution; occurs in environments with little competition. Organisms are equally spaced apart; occurs in artificial environments. Examples: Orange trees grow in rows on an orange plantation. A large group of herring fish travel to their spawning grounds. Oyster larvae are dispersed over hundreds of kilometres by strong sea currents.     Uniform Distribution Random Distribution Clumped Distribution Statement Answer Answer Answer Example Answer Answer Answer
