Abstract: | ![]() The Morisita's model for estimating the habitat preference by the ant lionsGenuroides japonicus is generalized by introducing, in addition to the environmental densitiesa andb, a repulsivity parameter . The probability function of the numberLn of individuals choosing fine sand to settle when a total ofn ant lions are introduced is examined. A heuristic and the minimum chi-square methods for estimating the parametersa, b and are discussed. |
