- (A) Uniform distribution means that organisms of a population are generally
equally spaced apart. In most situations, a natural uniform dispersion occurs
when organisms that comprise a population compete for a common
resource. In (A), red squirrels might be found anywhere within their
geographic territory, defending it. In (B), cattails would be found clumped in
only one area (near the water). In (C), dwarf mistletoes would only be found
where a particular species of forest tree is growing. In (D), moths would
have a higher density near lighted areas rather than in darker areas, as most
moths are attracted by light. In (E), the lake trout would be found more in
the deeper areas of the water.
