The study of population is called demography. The calculation of the number of species in the population is called a census.
The correct answer to the question is random, uniform, or clustered.
What is the population?
- The group of species living in the same habitat is called population
- In a specified region, a population comprises any number of members of the same species. Populations are described by sizes- the number of individuals; densities- individuals in a set space (per unit area); and distribution- the dispersal or non dispersal of individuals (spread out or clumped).
The population distribution is as follows:-
- Random: the distribution pattern is haphazard, with no regular spacing; individuals grow independently of each other without competing and resources are consistent. E.g. dandelion seed dispersal by wind
- Uniform: individuals are evenly spaced in a predictable pattern; there may be some interaction and ideally, spaces between them are maximized in order to ensure access to limited nutrients and resources. E.g. human farming- cornfields, orchards; allelopathy in plants like purple sage, which secretes chemicals to prevent the growth of other plants nearby
- Clumped: there is less distance between neighboring organisms and these individuals cluster together. This pattern is most common in environments where resources are scarce, or the species is dependent on social interactions. E.g. lions are highly social and hunt in pride in the wild
