DispersalPerRecruitModel: Population dynamics model based on lifetime-egg-production

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

View source: R/dpr_model.R

Description

This function implements the marine population dynamics model described in Kaplan et al. (2006). This model is most appropriate for examining equilibrium dynamics of age-structured populations or temporal dynamics of semelparous populations.

DispersalPerRecruitModel(
  LEP,
  conn.mat,
  recruits0,
  timesteps = 10,
  settler.recruit.func = hockeyStick,
  ...
)

Arguments

LEP

a vector of lifetime-egg-production (LEP; also known as eggs-per-recruit (EPR)) for each site.

conn.mat

a square connectivity matrix. dim(conn.mat) = rep(length(LEP),2)

recruits0

a vector of initial recruitment values for each site.

timesteps

a vector of timesteps at which to record egg production, settlement and recruitment.

settler.recruit.func

a function to calculate recruitment from the number of settlers at each site. Defaults to hockeyStick.

...

additional arguments to settler.recruit.func. Typically Rmax and slope.

Value

A list with the following elements:

eggs

egg production for the timesteps in timesteps

settlers

Similar for settlement

recruits

Similar for recruitment
