Extended Data Fig. 3: Analytic approximation of interaction rates in a random target landscape.
From: Information limitation and the dynamics of coupled ecological systems

Per-capita interaction rates in a two-dimensional landscape with targets distributed according to a Poisson spatial process. Lines show analytic approximation (see Supplementary Discussion ‘Analytic approximation for interaction rate in a random target field’). Note that, while approximation overestimates per-capita rate at intermediate density, prediction at high and low densities is accurate, as is the predicted location of peak per-capita interaction rate.
