calcDensityDependentDeathRate: Calculate Density-dependent Larval Mortality
In MGDrivE: Mosquito Gene Drive Explorer

Calculate α, the strength of density-dependent mortality during the larval stage, given by:

α=\Bigg( \frac{1/2 * β * θ_e * Ad_{eq}}{R_m-1} \Bigg) * \Bigg( \frac{1-(θ_l / R_m)}{1-(θ_l / R_m)^{1/T_l}} \Bigg)

calcDensityDependentDeathRate(
  fertility,
  thetaAq,
  tAq,
  adultPopSizeEquilibrium,
  populationGrowthRate
)

`fertility`	Number of eggs per oviposition for wild-type females, β
`thetaAq`	Vector of density-independent survival probabilities of aquatic stages, θ_{e}, θ_{l}
`tAq`	Vector of lengths of aquatic stages, T_{e}, T_{l}, T_{p}
`adultPopSizeEquilibrium`	Adult population size at equilibrium, Ad_{eq}
`populationGrowthRate`	Population growth in absence of density-dependent mortality R_{m}
