I understand that dispersal is the movement of population in order to be distributed on an area of habitat. So distribution and dispersion are two different things. However I came across this sentence from Wikipedia.

'Clumped distribution is the most common type of dispersion found in nature.'

What does it mean?

Clumped distribution is when organisms arrange themselves according to the availability of resources they need to survive. In other words, they occur when resources such as food or living spaces are clumped. They also may occur because of the animal's social behavior, such as when animals gather into herds or flocks.

Thanks psyche360 for replying! But the point is I am confused about the difference between distribution and dispersion in that sentence.
