Population Patterns
The distribution pattern where individuals are spaced evenly, often due to competition or territorial defense?
What is uniform distribution?
The movement of individuals into a population.
What is immigration?
he symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit (+/+).
What is mutualism?
The random changes in DNA that are the ultimate source of all genetic variation.
What is a mutation
This graph shows that precipitaion and temperature for a specific location
What is a Climatograph?
A herd of elephants gathering around a watering hole in the dry season exhibits this common distribution pattern.
What is clumped distribution?
If the births are equal to the deaths and the immigration is the same amount as the emigration, the population growth rate is?
What is Zero?
The symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed (+/0).
What is commensalism?
UNEXPECTED & unusual event; like a natural disaster or fishing net that disrupts a population
What is genetic drift
The type of vegetation, organisms and the patterns of temperature & precipitation is
What is a biome
This is the rarest distribution pattern, where the position of each individual is independent of the others.
What is random distribution?
This factor is the most direct cause of a negative growth rate
What is the death rate
!Free Space!
!Free Space!
The genes that have the highest chances for organisms to survive and reproduce stays around longer.
What is natural selection?
This term explains the exact individual organism name
What is a species?
The three main ways populations can be distributed across a habitat.
What are clumped, uniform, and random?
The four primary factors that influence a population's growth rate.
What are births, deaths, immigration, and emigration?
Oxpecker birds eating ticks off a zebra's back is a classic example of this interaction.
What is mutualism?
New organisms taking their genes into (immigration) or out of (emigration) a different population

What is a genus?
In a population distribution, how much "stuff" is in the population is refer to as..
What is Population Density
In a population of 100 elephants, there is:
The death rate from disease and poaching is 50
The birth rate is 20
Immigration from elephants coming in are 1
Emigration from elephants leaving is 30
