Variation in Some of the Key Parameters Induces Morphological Changes in the Resultant Spatial Patterns from Distinct Spots to Connected Spots to Stripe-Like Patterns
Average peak interval versus average island size for variations in the some of the key parameters are shown: +5% (diamond) and −5% (filled diamond) for k1, +5% (triangle) and −5% (filled triangle) for k3, +5% (inverted triangle) and −5% (filled inverted triangle) for k2, and +5% (+) for k4. The colored points are a gradient of variations: 1% (red), 2% (orange), 3% (green), 4% (blue), and 5% (violet). Also shown are the five simulations (square) using the standard parameter values in Table 2 and the mean for the 12 experiments (circle). All simulations were run for 3,000 iterations with periodic boundary conditions.
