Asymmetrical effect of migration on a prey–predator model

We present a lattice model, where prey and predator randomly walk with different rates. Computer simulations explain the asymmetrical effect: predators more frequently migrate than preys. Moreover, we find that the aggregation of species is promoted by diffusion process.
