Name the three types of population distribution, describe each, and explain the conditions that govern each.
The three types of population distribution are uniform, random, and clumped. Uniform distribution is rare; individuals are evenly spaced because of fierce competition for resources. In random distribution, individuals are unpredictably spaced, with some close together and others farther apart, when sufficient resources are available. In clumped distribution, individuals cluster around patchy resources, making it the most common type.
