Question

A species which exhibits territoriality will exhibit which kind of population distribution?

• A. Clumped
• B. Even
• C. Random
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Even

A population may be distributed randomly, uniformly or in clumps. Individuals in a population are distributed randomly if there is very little interaction between the individuals of that population. Very few population exhibit random distribution. Uniform distribution is seen when there is competition such as territoriality between individuals. Although some organisms exhibit random and uniform distribution, the most common type of distribution is the clumped distribution. In this type, individuals occur in groups. This form of distribution results when there is cooperative interaction between individuals.
