17. Notice that the case (Formula presented) is absorbing since predators will ultimately eat all preys.

20. For example, the term A is evaluated considering the birth probability of a prey (Formula presented) the probability of absence of predators in the prey’s visual neighborhood (Formula presented) and the factor (Formula presented) which is the probability to have “at least” an empty site at the nearest and next-nearest neighbor sites (8 in total, which gives the exponent).
