Why do populations that have clumped population dispersion compete and rely on each other more than organisms that live in populations with even and random dispersion?
Populations that have clumped population dispersion rely on each other more than organisms that live in populations with uniform or random dispersion. This is because within these population clumps, organisms tend to operate most efficiently as a group, such as hunting in a pack, for example.
How can ecological competition be modeled?
Competition also can be modeled by examining resources rather than population growth equations.
What does intraspecific competition do to population growth?
If members of the same species are competing for limited resources, then each individual would receive fewer resources when the population size of intraspecific competitors increases. Fewer resources per individual will(1) decrease the growth rates of individuals,(2) increase the chance that individuals die of starvation(3) decrease the number of offspring that a female can produce.
How does competition limit a population growth?
There is a limit to available resources and all organisms in an ecosystem compete for those resources. Those that are better adapted, will obtain higher amounts of those resources leaving less for those that do not have the best abilities. These organisms that did not obtain all the resources they needed will die therefore controlling population growth.
What effect can a limiting resource have on a popluation?
The most common result of limiting resources is interspecific competition. Whether it be food, substrate, nutrients, sunlight, etc; limiting resources cause members of the same species and population to have uniform dispersion or possibly produce extreme territorial/agnostic behavior.
What are 2 reasons why a population might live in a uniform dispersion?
A population might live in a uniform dispersion due to competition for resources, where individuals are spaced apart to reduce competition for food, water, or space. Additionally, territorial behavior can lead to uniform distribution, as individuals establish and defend territories to secure their access to resources, resulting in evenly spaced populations.

What causes population growth to slow down?
Competition for resources
What causes population to slow down?
Competition for resources
When does exponential growth of a population slow down?
When there are limited resources. when there is competition for resources. apex :)
When does the exponential growth of a population start to slow down?
When there are limited resources. when there is competition for resources. apex :)
A population is growing exponentially. What can you conclude?
There is no competition for resources is the correct answer for Apex
How can ecological competition be modeled?
Competition also can be modeled by examining resources rather than population growth equations.
How can the dispersion of one population be described as both uniform and clumped?
The dispersion pattern of a population sometimes depends on the scale at which the populations is observed. Example ;; Gannets are uniformly distributed on a scale of a few meters. However, if the entire island on which the gannets live is observed, the distribution appears clumped because the birds only live near the shore.
What is one effect of effect of immigration on population living in an ecosystem?
The population will decrease-- APEX
How can competition lead to evolution?
Evolution can exist without competition. Competition is what gives evolution a "direction"; it's what guides evolution. Note that there's no literal competition. Individuals within a population don't go out of their way to trick one another out of resources. It's simply that some of these individuals are better at gathering resources, and at surviving, and at breeding, than other individuals. Which makes that their genes are more likely to make it to the next generation than the genes of the others.
How are animals impacted by population growth?
There is more competition for resources, i.e. food and space
