Question

which of these dispersion patterns describes when organisms gather in groups around resources such as a watering hole or a patch of trees? cyclic uniform clumped random

In ecology, the clumped dispersion pattern occurs when organisms gather in groups around resources like a watering hole or a patch of trees. Cyclic is not a standard dispersion pattern term in this context. Uniform dispersion means organisms are evenly spaced. Random dispersion has no predictable pattern. So, the correct answer is clumped.
