Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clumped distribution occurs when individuals are found in groups or clusters, which can be caused by a variety of factors such as resource availability, social behavior, or habitat patchiness. If only certain portions of a habitat are the most favorable, it is likely that individuals will cluster in those areas, leading to a clumped distribution pattern. Random and uniform distributions are unlikely to occur if certain portions of the habitat are more favorable, as they would require a more homogeneous environment. Non-selected and forced distributions are not commonly used terms in ecology and do not accurately describe this scenario.
