We ran the model under different scenarios represented as different landscape maps(100×100 raster). The amount and distribution of the resources were modified to analyze population dynamics of agents, agents movement patterns, resources depletion and among other patterns that can emerge.

- This scenario represents a landscape where the resources are distributed equally across the space. In this way, every cell has the same value: 100 - Totaling 1000000 units of resources, average cell value: 100 -

- This scenario represents a landscape where the resources are distributed heterogeneously across space. There are three points with the highest concentrations of resources and the resource decreses as a function of the distance to this peaks. In this way the cells have different values: 0 to 147 - Totaling 1000000 units of resources, average cell value: 100

- This scenario represents a landscape where the resources are distributed heterogeneously across space. There are three points with the highest concentrations of resources and this amount decreses with the distance to this points. In this way the cells have different values in this map: 0 to 73 - Totaling 500000 units of resources, average cell value: 50.
