Dispersal refers to the movement of individuals away form the place of birth or areas with high population density. It includes Immigration (moving into a population) and Emigration (moving out of a population). Dispersion refers to the spacing of individuals with respect with one another. it includes 3 patterns: Clumped, Even and Random Dispersion
