1. dispersal

   Dispersal refers to the process or act of spreading or distributing something widely or across different regions. This term is most commonly used in the fields of ecology and biology, referring to the movement of organisms from their birth site to their breeding site ('natal dispersal'), as well as the movement from one breeding site to another ('breeding dispersal'). It can also refer to the dispersion of seeds, spores, or organisms to new areas, often through mechanisms such as wind, water, or animals.
