Abstract:IntroductionSpace use patterns in fish result from the interactions between individual movement behaviour and characteristics of the environment. Herbivorous parrotfishes, for instance, are constrained by the availability of resources and different predation risks. The resulting spatial distribution of the fish population can strongly influence community composition and ecosystem resilience.MethodsIn a novel approach, we combine individual-based modelling (IBM) with an artificial potential field algorithm to r… Show more
