Number of cases/rows: 2157, each row represents the result of 8 to 5000 simulations (depending on the scenario) with the same parameter combination 3. Variable List: gamma: movement friction coefficient dmax: maximum distance covered in one time step (arbitrary length unit) k: power law scaling parameter for the disturbance rate density: number of individuals interacting with the same landscape at the same time (number of individuals) emd: Earth mover's distance step.length.mean: average realized animal step length over the simulations for the parameter combination (arbitrary length unit) step.length.sd: standard deviation of the realized animal step length over the simulations for the parameter combination (arbitrary length unit) affected.cells.sum: cumulative number of cells affected by a disturbance over time and space for the parameter combination (number of cells) scenario: which scenario used in the simulations among control, base, barriers, scramble, demography scenario2: which scenario used in the simulations (but detailing population change in tthe demography scenario) among control, base, barriers, scramble, demography increasing, demography stable, demography decreasing See details in Kunegel-Lion, Mélodie; Neilson, Eric W.; Mansuy, Nicolas; Goodsman, Devin W.
