1. Ecological

Food is clumped--> animals are clumped.
Food is scattered --> animals are scattered.

2. Phylogeny (=Evolutionary descent)

Some animals are more closely related to each other and so are less varied than a non-related animal.

3.Adaptation

Different environments engender different social behaviors / genetic developments.
