Stretch receptors in skeletal muscles stimulate sensory neurons. Describe how these neurons could participate in an activity such as walking or riding a bicycle, in which opposing muscles alternately contract and relax.
I. The dispersion of individuals within a population depends on the location of essential resources, dispersal, and behavioral interactions a. Dispersion: spatial arrangement of individuals within a population i. Regular dispersion: dispersion where individuals are relatively evenly spaced throughout their habitat ii. Random dispersion: dispersal similar to what would occur if individuals were positioned at locations selected at random iii. Clumped dispersion: grouped dispersion b. Resources and dispersal affect dispersion within populations: environmental conditions vary at random in clumped spaces so dispersion often results in random or clu
