You drove through Iowa in the spring and noticed that along a stretch of several kilometers, every third fence post had a male red-winged blackbird perched on it defending its nesting territory. This is an example of <u>uniform dispersion.</u>
Explanation:
There are usually three dispersion patterns :
Clumping
Uniform dispersion
Random dispersion
Clumping is the most common.
Uniform dispersion occurs when
resources are scarce
Individuals are evenly spaced in a habitat
Due to competition or territorial behavior
While Random dispersion occurs when resources are plentiful.
Hence ,This is an example of <u>uniform dispersion.</u>
