Spacing within a population for a species that is strongly territorial would be expected to be
Added by Wendy F.
Step 1
Territoriality refers to the behavior of an individual or a group of animals defending a specific area or space against intruders, especially conspecifics (members of the same species). This behavior is often observed in species where resources like food, mates, Show more…

1. If a species of animals is highly territorial, what dispersion pattern would you expect for that species? - The species would likely be evenly distributed throughout the ecosystem -The species would likely have a clumped distribution pattern in the ecosystem - The species would likely be vertically distributed in the ecosystem -The species would likely be randomly distributed throughout the ecosystem
Sukhwinder N.
If a group of species lived together in a small area, the carrying capacity of that area would probably collapse quickly.

You observe a species of animal that lives in a habitat where resources are quite abundant and roughly evenly distributed throughout the area. You also not that it isn't particularly social, nor does it show antagonistic behavior toward others of the same species. What type of distribution would you predict for this species?
