Detailed explanation-1: -For example, many species have some means of dispersal. This refers to offspring moving away from their parents. This prevents the offspring from competing with the parents for resources such as light or water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dispersal is an ecological process that involves the movement of an individual or multiple individuals away from the population in which they were born to another location, or population, where they will settle and reproduce. The two most common forms of dispersal are: natal or dispersal.

Detailed explanation-3: -Animals disperse many smaller organisms by ingesting, transporting and egesting propagules (endozoochory) or by carrying propagules attached to their exterior (epizoochory). Both forms of animal-mediated dispersal are generally well-studied, but most previous work focused only on a few kinds of species interactions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dispersal is the movement of individuals away from where they were born, while, as we noted earlier, dispersion is the spatial arrangement of individuals in a population. Plants rely on wind, water, or animals to carry, or disperse, their seeds to new locations.
