Question

which species is most likely to exhibit clumped dispersion? a. dandelions with seeds dispersed by the wind b. tigers that defend their territories from one another c. a bird that nests in many different types of trees d. a tree that grows only on the banks of streams

Explanation:

Clumped dispersion occurs when individuals are grouped together in patches. A tree that grows only on the banks of streams will be clustered in those stream - bank areas. Dandelions with wind - dispersed seeds are more likely to have random dispersion. Birds that nest in many different types of trees may have a more random or uniform dispersion depending on tree availability. Tigers defending their territories are likely to have a more uniform dispersion pattern to maximize resources and space.

Answer:

D. a tree that grows only on the banks of streams
