Habitat choice of multiple pollinators in almond trees and its potential effect on pollen movement and productivity: A theoretical approach using the Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto model

► In this paper we model the movements of interacting pollinators in almond orchards. ► We assume movement under intrinsic-, self-, cross-diffusion and environmental forces. ► A numerical approximation of the Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto model was used. ► We hypothesize foraging in less favorable areas leads to increased nut production. ► We found the cross-diffusion effects on honey bees to be the strongest.
