In biology, the range or distribution of a species is the geographical area within which that species can be found. Within that range, dispersion is variation in local density. The term is often qualified sometimes a distinction is made between a species native range and the places to which it has been introduced by human agency deliberately or accidentally , as well as where it has been re introduced following Local extinction extirpation . for species which are found in different regions at different times of year, terms such as summer range and winter range are often employed. for species where only part of their range is used for breeding activity, the terms breeding range and non breeding range are not used. when discussing mobile animals, the species natural range is often discussed, as opposed to areas where it occurs as a vagrancy biology vagrant . geographic or temporal qualifiers are often added e.g. British range or pre 1950 range . There are at least five types of distribution patterns scattered random Random placement clustered grouped The majority are placed in one area linear Their placements form a line radial Placements form a x shape Regular ordered They are not random at all, but follow a set placement.

Sealers Oven is a man made structure of mud and stone located at 34 53 40.6 S 118 20 2.3 E on Waychinicup River Waychinicup Inlet near Albany, Western Australia Albany , Western Australia . Believed to be a semi permanent bread oven built by Seal hunting sealer s around 1800, it predates European colonisation of Western Australia by over twenty years, and is therefore one of the States and territories of Australia state s oldest non Indigenous Australians Indigenous artifacts. Built on a granite outcrop about four metres above the high tide line, it is a roughly circular kiln about one metre high and 1.5 metres across. At the top there is an access hole about 30 centimetres across, and there are two small ventilation holes at the base on the eastern side. It is built from granite stones, broad and flat at the bottom but somewhat larger and more circular at the top, suggesting that it may have been partially rebuilt. Sealers Oven has been known of since the early days of colonisation, but was neither used nor protected until 1973, when the Government of Western Australia established a twelve square metre reserve around the oven at the request of the National Trust of Australia . It was classified by the National Trust in 1977, and has been part of the Waychinicup National Park since the park s establishment in 1990. In 1997 it was placed on the Heritage Council of Western Australia s Register of Heritage Places.

Student Body is a science fiction short story by F L Wallace. It was first published in Galaxy magazine in 1953 and has been anthologised many times. It was included in The Golden Age of Science Fiction anthology . Plot Humanity is spreading rapidly through the galaxy and a planet known as Glade has been identified as suitable for colonisation. It has a near Earth climate and presumably near Earth gravity and atmosphere . A colonisation expedition lands on Glade one rocket contains the potential colonists and what equipment they will need, whilst a second rocket returns to Earth to confirm the suitability of the planet and bring more settlers. Under the energetic leadership of Executive Hafner, the colonists start to assemble agricultural equipment and prepare for planting fast growing crops that they will need to survive. But Biologist Dano Martin is already concerned that all is not as it should be. Biological Controls have previously surveyed the planet, without actually landing, and cleared it as being benign, but very soon mice appear and attack the crops and food stocks. Attempts are made to control them, but very soon they appear in plague proportions. Martin thinks he knows what has happpened. The apparently harmless native lifeform, which he dubs the omnimal , has the ability to adapt to threats as they appear. They can mutate and reproduce with amazing speed. As they are brought under control, they are replaced with rats. The humans create a robot cat which fights the rats, but only stops them temporarily. They are then further replaced by tiger like creatures, and these are brought under control. Martin now knows what the next mutation will be and is proved right when food again goes missing from the fields. With Hafner only partially convinced, he seeks out the new creature. Hafner wants to shoot it, but Martin convinces him not to, knowing that a further mutated creature will be unstopable. They come face to face with the creature. It looked very much l ... more details
