(A) Average re-encounter rate over lifetime graphed by standard deviation of walking distance & averaged over meeting radius.(B) Average re-encounter rate over lifetime graphed by meeting radius & averaged over standard deviation of walking distance. Meeting someone now predicts meeting them again: Average re-encounter rates are high for all cases but the smallest meeting radius and at the very ends of organisms' lives. (C) Average autocorrelation effect (re-encounter rate less the encounter base rate) over lifetime graphed by standard deviation of walking distance & averaged over meeting radius. (D) Average autocorrelation effect (re-encounter rate less the encounter base rate) over lifetime graphed by meeting radius & averaged over standard deviation of walking distance. Meeting someone now predicts meeting them again, over and above the base rate of meeting them in the future: Effects are high at all but the largest walking distances and smallest meeting radii and at the very ends of organisms' lives.
