Question
Chapter 27.4, Problem 1CYL
Summary Introduction
To describe: The three types of spatial distribution and the potential causes of each type of distribution
Introduction: The population of various species depicts characteristic spacing of the members. It is therefore, determined by the environment and behavior. The spatial distribution of population varies with changing breeding season and time.
