Exploring landscape structure effect on termite territory size using a model approach
SH Lee, NY Su, P Bardunias - Biosystems, 2007 - Elsevier
The foraging territory of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus
Shiraki, was simulated by using a lattice model in order to study how landscape structure
affects the foraging territory. Three kinds of landscape were generated on lattice space:
ideal, random and fractal landscape. Each lattice cell had a value ranging from 0.0 to 1.0,
interpreted as transition probability, Ptrans, which represents spatially distributed property of
the landscapes. The heterogeneity of the fractal landscape was characterized by a …
