Population Demographics and Distribution (11th Grade Biology)
In a study of desert shrubs, scientists observed distribution change from clumped to random to uniform as plants matured. What does this observation most directly suggest?
Distribution patterns are fixed and never change with age
Limiting factors only affect juvenile plants, not adults
Distribution patterns can change over time due to life-stage shifts or interactions
Clumped distributions always become uniform in all species
