Parameters used in the model and their values. See methods section for details (1 second = 1 time step, 1 m = 0.04 spatial units/1 spatial unit = 25 m).

1)Note that since the individual responds only to the nearest recognized tree (of type depending on the discrimination level, see ‘Methods’), the effective ‘infinity’ is achieved by setting a perceptual range larger than the largest nearest neighbour distance between the recognized trees.
