Question

food is limited in the deep sea. when a carcass falls to the bottom, the animals in the deep sea congregate around this food source. what dispersal pattern is this an example of?
even
clumped
uniform
cyclic

Explanation:

Dispersal patterns in ecology: Clumped dispersion occurs when individuals gather around a resource (like food here, the carcass). Even/uniform is spaced evenly (e.g., territorial species), cyclic isn’t a standard dispersion pattern. The deep - sea animals congregating around the carcass (food source) fit clumped.

Answer:

B. clumped
