How is a clumped population distribution beneficial for prey animals? Being a member of a larger group provides protection for each individual from predators Prey animals rely on each other to acquire food Prey animals live in small family groups to raise young Clumped population distributions ensure that at least one member of the population knows how to identify the seasonal migration route.

2) In a particular island, the environment is semi-arid. There is a lizard population with a lot of variation for color.
