Continuous density

Organisms move between the patch and the matrix with equal probability. Step sizes and movement probabilities are equal in the patch and the matrix.

Type I Discontinuous density (DD)

Organisms modify their movement behavior at the patch/matrix interface and would have a probability α of remaining in or leaving Ω different from 50%. Step sizes differ between the patch and the matrix, whereas movement probabilities are equal.

\(\frac{\alpha}{1 - \alpha} \sqrt{\frac {D_{0}}{D}}\)

Type II Discontinuous density (DD)

Organisms modify their movement behavior at the patch/matrix interface and would have a probability α of remaining in or leaving Ω different from 50%. Step sizes are equal between the patch and the matrix but movement probabilities are different.

\(\frac{\alpha}{1 - \alpha} \frac {D_{0}}{D}\)

[8, 16]

Type III Discontinuous density (DD)

Organisms remain in Ω with probability α different from 50%. Movement probabilities and step sizes are the same between the patch and the matrix.

\(\frac{\alpha}{1 - \alpha}\)
