Answer to q. 1

Clumped dispersion is extremely common in nature because suitable habitat conditions are patchy in
nature. However, the area sampled can affect how dispersion appears. Dispersion may appear random
or clumped or uniform at one spatial scale, but different at a different spatial scale. For example, a
population may appear randomly dispersed at a small scale, but over the entire extent of the population
may be clumped. The larger the sampled area, the more closely the actual dispersion pattern will be
revealed, although dispersion at all spatial scales is ecologically relevant.
