Models for Benthic Predation - Figure 6

Figure 6. Output from the CA model of a mussle bed with (A) spatial gradients but no neighborhood effects, (B) spatial gradients and neighborhood effects, and (C) spatial gradients, neighborhood effects, and a tenfold increase in the immigration rate of predators. Mussel size is color coded from red for large through blue for small. See Robles and Desharnais (2002, 442KB) for details.
