Influences of Movement Behavior on Animal Distributions at Edges of Homogeneous Patches
Figure 5
The proportion of crosses per encounter with the edge as a function of time spent in the edge zone during the empirical trials. Edge encounters were defined as the number of times a beetle extended its head beyond the inner edge of the tape surrounding the arena. Because trials ended once a beetle crossed the edge (i.e. exited the arena), the proportion of crosses per encounter is always , where is the number of edge encounters.
