Answer:

The spatial relationship between individuals of a population within a habitat at a given point in time is depicted by species distribution patterns, also known as dispersion patterns.

Explanation:

Species in a population can be spread out more or less evenly, distributed randomly with no particular pattern, or concentrated into clusters. Uniform, random, and clumped distribution patterns are the three types of distribution patterns.

Uniform distribution- Plants that secrete compounds that limit the growth of surrounding individuals (such as the sage plant Salvia leucophylla's release of harmful chemicals, a phenomenon known as allelopathy) and animals like the penguin that maintain a defined territory exhibit uniform distribution.  

Radom distribution-Dandelion and other plants with wind-dispersed seeds that grow wherever they fall in a good environment are examples of random distribution.  

Clumped distribution- Plants that drop their seeds directly to the ground, such as oak trees, or animals that dwell in groups, exhibit clumped distribution (schools of fish or herds of elephants). Habitat heterogeneity may also play a role in clumped distribution.  

As a result, individual distribution within a population reveals more information about how they interact with one another than a simple density measurement. Solitary species with a random distribution, such lower density species, may have a harder time locating a partner when compared to sociable species that are clumped together in groups.
