Population Distribution Population distribution means the pattern of where people live. World population distribution is uneven. Places which are sparsely populated contain few people. Places which are densely populated contain many people. Sparsely populated places tend to be difficult places to live.
Population Ecology. A population is a group of individuals belonging to the same species and living in the same geographic area at a given time. They use the same natural resources and are affected by similar environmental factors. Population ecology examines the factors affecting population density and distribution. Population density is the number of individuals in a given area or volume. Population distribution is how spread out the individuals are in that area. Basically it is how populations change over time.
