Description
Effective population sizes (often abbreviated as "Neff") are essential in biodiversity monitoring and conservation. For the first time, calculating effective sizes with data obtained within less than a generation but considering demographic parameters is possible. This individual based model uses demographic parameters of a population to calculate annual effective sizes and effective population sizes (per generation). A defined number of alleles and loci will be used to simulate the genotypes of the individuals. Stepwise mutation rates can be included. Variations in life history parameters (sex ratio, sex-specific survival, recruitment rate, reproductive skew) are possible. These results will help managers to define existing populations as viable or not.

Package: NEff
Type: Package
Version: 1.1
Date: 2015-05-04
License: GPL version 2.0
The package is based on function population. This function creates an individual based population model simulating genetics via a specific number of loci holding a specific number of alleles. Demography is given as input values and can be adapted to every life history parameter combination.
