    Study Notes

    • Population structure includes the distribution of individuals within a population.
    • Individuals may be randomly spaced, uniformly spaced, or clumped.
    • Random spacing is rare in nature.
    • Uniform spacing can result from competition for resources or behavioral interactions.
    • Clumped spacing is common and can result from uneven distribution of resources or social interactions.
    • Populations are often most densely populated in the interior of their range and less densely distributed toward the edges.
    • Populations are best adapted to the conditions in the interior of their distribution.
    • Individuals are less well adapted as environmental conditions change, leading to decreased densities.
    • Ultimately, individuals cannot persist at all, marking the edge of a population's range.
    • Both plants and animals exhibit different spacing patterns within populations.
