Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clumped distribution occurs when individuals in a population are found in groups or patches, which is common when the resources or habitats necessary for survival are clumped or unevenly spaced. This pattern allows individuals to be close to resources they need for survival and reproduction, but also increases competition for those resources among individuals within the same patch.
