In MGDrivE: Mosquito Gene Drive Explorer

Calculate Larval Stage Mortality Rate

Description

Calculate \mu_{l}, the larval mortality, given by

\mu_l=1-\Bigg( \frac{R_m * \mu_{ad}}{1/2 * \beta * (1-\mu_m)} \Bigg)^{\frac{1}{T_e+T_l+T_p}}

Usage

calcLarvalStageMortalityRate(
  generationPopGrowthRate,
  adultMortality,
  fertility,
  aquaticStagesDuration
)

Arguments

generationPopGrowthRate	See calcPopulationGrowthRate
adultMortality	Adult mortality rate, \mu_{ad}
fertility	Number of eggs per oviposition for wild-type females, \beta
aquaticStagesDuration	Vector of lengths of aquatic stages, T_{e}, T_{l}, T_{p}
