[[Image:Population distribution.svg|thumb|right|The three basic types of population distribution within an area. From top to bottom: spaced (uniform/regular), random and clumped (aggregated).]]
In biology, the '''range''' or '''distribution''' of a [[species]] is the [[geography|geographical]] area or
[[habitat]] where thatthe species live in.
 
Sometimes, when species are found in different regions at different times of year, [[wikt:term|terms]] such as '''summer range''' and '''winter range''' can be used. When [[discussion|discussing]] about [[animal]]s, the species' '''natural range''' is often discussed.
Line 6 ⟶ 7:
There are at least five types of distribution patterns:
 
* [[wikt:random|random]] ''(Random placement)''
* [[wikt:cluster|cluster]]ed/[[group]]ed ''(The majoritymost are placed in one area)''
* linear ''(Theirthey placementsare formin a line)''
* radial ''(Placementsradiating formfrom a ' x ' shapecentre)''
* Regular/ordered ''(They are not random at all, but follow ain set placement.positions)''
