The resulting layered infection areas, hotspots, are a result of the ant path locations, wind speed and wind direction. The ants paths of travel along the forest floor are abstracted as a field of random generated lines. The initial small hotpsot boundaries are also scattered at random. The initial hotspot boundaries are scaled in […]

For example, after completing the internal fungal growth stage, zero movement becomes the next optimal condition for the fungus growth. The closer the variable at the point in the […]
