NNeighbors

Exact number of neighbors to check for each habitat cell.

queensCase

If TRUE, checks all 8 directions for neighbors; if FALSE, checks only 4.

maxDistance

Maximum distance to look for neighbors.

Value

TRUE if any habitat cell has the specified number of neighbors within the given distance, FALSE otherwise.
