Which of the following species would you most expect to be distributed according to a regular pattern?
a. termites
b. stingless bees
c. fish
d. creosote bushes

D is the right answer - you would most expect creosote bushes to be distributed according to a regular pattern. Ecologists have investigated this phenomenon and found there are a host of reasons why this might be, although the most likely case is root competition for very limited water sources.

Creosote bushes species is distributed according to a regular pattern.

Further Explanation:

The regular pattern is defined as the uniform or non-random distribution of a species without any disturbance in the population. Regular or uniform pattern is seen in very less species because there is a frequent occurrence of genetic variation leading to non-uniform or random distribution of specie. For example, a small group of animals gives regular pattern but diverse or large group of animal gives random distribution leading to non- random pattern.

The Creosote bush plant mostly present in warm desserts (such as chihuahuan, Mojave and sonoran dessert). They are the most important and common plant in warm desserts. They have two very unique features that they can live without water for almost two years. Also, they produce same colonies which have the same genetic makeup. They have a very uniform or regular distribution of their species as compared to other animals. The uniform distribution or regular pattern provides equal distribution of nutrient, space and salts. The creosote bush even not moves randomly so it is very rare to see random distribution in this plant.
