Patch Class Definition

Description

A Patch is a single well-mixed population that is the smallest unit of simulation for MGDrivE.

Format

An R6Class generator object

Constructor

• patchID: integer ID of this patch

• genotypesID: character vector of genotypes

• timeAq: integer vector of length 3 specifying the length of each aquatic stage

• numPatches: integer, total number of patches in this simulation

• adultEQ: integer, total adult population in this patch for the duration of the simulation

• larvalEQ: integer, total larval population in this patch for the duration of the simulation

• muAq: double vector, length 3, daily death rate for each aquatic stage

• alpha: double, density-dependent centering parameter, see parameterizeMGDrivE

• adultRatioF: named double vector, distribution of adult female genotypes, see parameterizeMGDrivE

• adultRatioM: named double vector, distribution of adult male genotypes, see parameterizeMGDrivE

• larvalRatio: named double vector, distribution of all aquatic genotypes, see parameterizeMGDrivE
