Hi Erica!...Its Rae and Adam(not the red head), were going to talk about Clumped Dispersion, and we found that in the lab manual it states that it is the type of dispersion in which distance in neighboring individuals is minimized. Other causes of clumped distribution could be inability of offspring to trans locate. This is seen in baby animals that are immovable and dependent on parent. For example, the bald eagle's nest of hatched eggs exudes a clumped species distribution because all the offspring are in a target area before they learn to fly---this is what we want to add to the site---. ---we want to put a picture of a nets of bald eagles...can we do that?---

Hi everyone! This morning I made minor edits to the random distribution (saying it is uncommon)and clumped dispersion (saying it is common) sections. I also added the example of Salvia leucophylla to the uniform dispersion section. I worked for about half an hour trying to cite it. I keep getting an error message and I don't know why! If anyone who is good with html can figure it out, I'd be so grateful. Otherwise, I'll work on it more tonight. Thanks! -Lauren Richburg —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ler326 (talk • contribs) 15:03, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Lauren -- could you post the citation here so someone can add it? Also, for when someone figures out how to add citations, here is a citation for the Clark-Evans method:

Blackith, R. E. (1958) Nearest-Neighbour Distance Measurements for the Estimation of Animal Populations Ecology 39: 147-150.
