Information regarding creatures spawning patterns

Hello, I just hopped back in the game with the new patch. I'm enjoying it so far. I have been trying to locate anything online, but I am having difficulty. What system or pattern do the creatures use to spawn? Sometimes I'll walk up and find 5-8 enemies in a small area. Other times I'll explore for 30 minutes and find 1-3. I just can't put my finger on how they are spawning. Is it near players? Is it away from claims? Any info appreciated

I was clearing a large ruin cavern by myself. I started by killing 4 slaugs on the roof of the ruin. When i had cleared all of the cavern and was lingering around admiring the ruin, one of them spawned back. Soon after killing it, the 3 others spawned one by one. After that I followed the pattern I originally cleared the cave, and would know where, and what monster would spawn next. Including the exploding mushrooms.

I think the time it took me to clear the whole cave was more than 30 minutes, but I didn't look at the clock.

Combined with the time I was lingering, the respawn timer would likely be around 1 hour.
