Emergent Properties of Patch Shapes Affect Edge Permeability to Animals
Figure 3
Density of animal locations vs. distance from edge of patch, for three different types of behaviors to the edge, for straight edges.
Note the log scale for density. Densities are in proportion to the mean density in the whole patch - thus, 1 means no effect of the edge. Attraction and avoidance give proportionally similar effects, with most effects within 1 unit from the edge.
