Priors on parameter values for the empirical 2Dt and mechanistic WALD integrated model. Priors on ω, δ, ν1 and ν2 were set weighted more strongly towards 0 with the assumption that transects would not display extremely different dispersal kernels.

| b | Global parameter governing 2Dt kernel | half-normal(0, 1) | b ≥ 0 |
| f | Total available seed effect | half-normal(0, 1) | None |
