Population Dispersion Population dispersion is the spatial pattern of distribution There are three main classifications Clumped : individuals are lumped into groups ex. Flocking birds or herbivore herds due to resources that are clumped or social interactions most common http://www.johndarm.clara.net/galleryphots/

Population Dispersion http://www.calflora.net/bloomingplants/creosotebush2.html ,[object Object],www.agry.purdue.edu/turf/ tips/2002/clover611.htm Random : Individuals are randomly dispersed in the environment ex. Dandelions due to random distribution of resources in the environment, and neither positive nor negative interaction between individuals rare because these conditions are rarely met

Exponential Growth One female will produce 6 young over her 100 year life span. In a population, this amounts to a growth rate of 2% How many elephants could result from one male and one female after 750 years? 19,000,000 elephants!!!
