Step 1. Research the basic patterns of population distribution.
Use the Internet to review the patterns of population distribution. Use the following as a guide to complete
your research:
Summarize the three patterns of population distribution.
Choose one pattern to explore in detail.
Develop an in-depth description of the pattern of population distribution in your choice.
Provide an example of a specific population that follows the particular pattern you selected.
Step 2. Explain the effects of population distribution.
Using the information gathered in Step 1 answer the following questions:
How does the specific population example you used exemplify the pattern you selected?
How does the distribution pattern make a population more or less vulnerable to habitat destruction?
How does the distribution affect competition and niche dominance?
