Description Usage Arguments Value Note References Examples
Function to randomize body sizes by drawing species from a user-defined source pool. Species are drawn without replacement, and there is a specified probability vector for the source pool species

speciesData |
a vector of observed body sizes. |
sourcePool |
a vector of body sizes of species in the user-defined pool of potential colonists. |
speciesProbs |
a vector of relative colonization weights of length 'sourcePool'. |
Returns a vector of body sizes of an assemblage randomly drawn from a user-defined source pool.
Although delineating a source pool of species and estimating their relative colonization probabilities is difficult, this is the most realistic approach to constructing a null distribution.
