Heterogeneous populations are more common in large and ecologically diverse areas. This is because diverse environments support a wider variety of life forms, allowing for multiple species and different genetic variations within species to coexist. Such variation can result from a combination of factors, including different selective pressures, genetic drift, mutation rates, and migration patterns. Heterogeneous populations are indicative of ecosystems with high levels of biodiversity and can be seen in environments like rainforests, coral reefs, or large urban centers, where there is a significant mix of different organisms or cultural backgrounds.
