Figure 2. Basic structure of the cellular automata model. (A) Two values are associated with each cell: 1) the cell ID "x," a unique ID for each cell, and 2) the expansion probability "ex" indicating four directional vectors into adjacent cells (described below). (B) Values e1, e2, e3, and e4 indicate the probability of dispersion using the path to the top, left, bottom, and right cells, respectively. If the dispersion path value is 1, the insect population in this cell can expand to the adjacent cell.
