a, From field samples, based on a minimum distance of 20 m between nests that are judged to be in the same cluster. b, From field-parameterized cellular automata stochastic model, based on a 90 times 120 lattice, where each lattice point is intended to model a single shade tree. Clusters are defined based on individual lattice points in contact with any other lattice point in the Moore neighbourhood.
