Community interactions in patchy and flat landscapes. A Schematic of the flat landscape with virtual patches and corridors (dashed lines) masked on top. B Zoom-in of patches 74-85 from Fig. 3B depicting two P. aeruginosa wave emissions into E. coli territory. C Distribution of Pearson coefficient between E. coli and P. aeruginosa pixel occupancy computed within virtual patches (\(n = 1530\)) in flat landscapes (orange) and real patches (\(n = 6120\)) in patchy landscapes (blue). D Distribution of Pearson coefficient as in C but for virtual (orange) and real (blue) corridor data in flat and patchy landscapes, respectively. E Kymograph of patchy landscape and F flat landscape from the same original cultures. G, H Semi-log plot of temporal dynamics of patchy (G) and flat (H) landscape occupancy for E. coli (magenta) and P. aeruginosa (green)
