Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Species dispersion patterns-or distribution patterns-refer to how the individuals in a population are distributed in space at a given time. The individual organisms that make up a population can be more or less equally spaced, dispersed randomly with no predictable pattern, or clustered in groups.
Detailed explanation-2: -The three dispersion patterns are clumped, random, and uniform (figure 5.1.
Detailed explanation-3: -A specific type of organism can establish one of three possible patterns of dispersion in a given area: a random pattern; an aggregated pattern, in which organisms gather in clumps; or a uniform pattern, with a roughly equal spacing of individuals.
