From: Species survival emerge from rare events of individual migration

Reaction/Migration (rate)

Description

 

Prey reproduction: (α)

a B agent finds a A agent and reproduces into two B agents.

Prey decay: (β)

a B agent dies out.

Predation: (γ)

a C agent consumes a B agent, reproducing into two C agents.

Predator decay: (δ)

a C agent dies out.

Prey competition: ()

two B agents compete and one of them is eliminated.

Resource migration: (DA)

an A agent moves to a randomly chosen adjacent site.

Prey migration: (DB)

a B agent moves to a randomly chosen adjacent site.

Predator migration: (DC)
