From: Mixing of propagules from discrete sources at long distance: comparing a dispersal tail to an exponential

Figure 1

1-D dispersal kernels and proportion π A of propagules from source A . (a) Plot of the three dispersal kernels used (hatched line, Gaussian kernel; solid line, exponential kernel; long-hatched line, power-law kernel with a = 3). All three have the same mean distance travelled, equal to 2 m (parameter α equals respectively 3.44, 2 and 2). (b) Log-plot of the three dispersal kernels (c) Proportion of propagules from source A as a function of position x between -20 m and 20 m for the three dispersal kernels. The distance between the two sources A and B is 2 m, equal to the mean dispersal distance.
