State
A population's dispersion pattern is uniform when individuals space evenly apart, random when spacing follows no predictable pattern, and clumped when individuals cluster in groups.
Show
Territorial penguins disperse uniformly, wind-scattered dandelions disperse randomly, and herd-forming elephants disperse in clumps.
Watch for
Dispersion pattern describes spatial arrangement only — it says nothing by itself about total population size or density.
