Table 2 Parameters of the habitat-specific diffusion model
Parameter | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|
k | Relative habitat preference, i.e. the relative probability of the butterfly being located in the habitat type in question in comparison to the probability of it being located in its breeding habitat (BH; k BH = 1 by definition). | |
D | m2 d−1 | The diffusion coefficient, i.e. the rate of movement within a given habitat type. |
m | d−1 | Mortality, measured as the probability of the butterfly dying during one day. |
p | Capture probability, i.e. the probability of the butterfly being captured if it is located at the searched site. |
