• 1 point

clumped dispersion
random dispersion
uniform dispersion

Explanation:

• For the first question: A population is defined as a group of individuals of a single species occupying the same general area. A community consists of multiple species, and a subspecies is a taxonomic rank within a species.
• For the second question: Uniform dispersion occurs when individuals are evenly spaced. Clumped dispersion has individuals grouped together, and random dispersion has no predictable pattern. Here, the birds are evenly spaced (every third fence - post), so it's uniform dispersion.

Answer:

1. population
2. uniform dispersion
