set_initialPopulation_Patch: Set Initial Population

In MGDrivE: Mosquito Gene Drive Explorer

Description

This hidden function distributes the population at time 0 in the steady-state conformation. This involves finding the number of mosquitoes in each day of the aquatic stages, and then splitting adults into male and female. Each stage is appropriately split amongst the initial population genotypes (see parameterizeMGDrivE). It internally calls calcLarvalDist to determine the distribution of larvae before setting the eggs and pupa from that.

Usage

set_initialPopulation_Patch(
  adultEQ = adultEQ,
  larvalEQ = larvalEQ,
  adultRatioF = adultRatioF,
  adultRatioM = adultRatioM,
  larvalRatio = larvalRatio,
  timeAq = timeAq,
  muAq = muAq,
  alpha = alpha
)

Arguments

adultEQ	Equilibrium number of adults
larvalEQ	Equilibrium number of larvae
adultRatioF	Genotype specific ratio for adult females
adultRatioM	Genotype specific ratio for adult males
larvalRatio	Genotype specific ratio for larvae
timeAq	Time for each aquatic stage
muAq	Aquatic death rate
alpha	Density-dependent centering parameter
