Difference between clumped, uniform, and random distribution.
In ecology, “clumped” distribution means individuals in a population are grouped together in clusters, “uniform” distribution means individuals are evenly spaced apart, and “random” distribution means individuals are scattered without any apparent pattern, with no predictable spacing between them.
