This function allows simulating the effect of an increase in environmental temperature, which stabilizes at a specific value, on the abundance of ectotherm populations.

increasing_stabilization(
  y_ini = c(N = 400, N = 400, N = 400),
  temp_ini = rep(20, 3),
  temp_cmin = rep(18, 3),
  temp_cmax = c(25, 28, 32),
  ro = rep(0.7, 3),
  lambda = rep(5e-05, 3),
  temp_stabilization = rep(25, 3),
  q = rep(0.03, 3),
  time_start = 2005,
  time_end = 2100,
  leap = 1/12
)

`y_ini`	Initial population values (must be written with its name: N).
`temp_ini`	Initial temperature.
`temp_cmin`	Minimum critical temperature.
`temp_cmax`	Maximum critical temperature.
`ro`	Population growth rate at optimum temperature.
`lambda`	Marginal loss by non-thermodependent intraspecific competition.
`temp_stabilization`	Stabilization temperature.
`q`	Temparature increase factor.
`time_start`	Start of time sequence.
`time_end`	End of time sequence.
`leap`	sequence increase.

Three populations and/or scenarios can be simulated simultaneously. A logistic type function determines the temperature trend. The temperature increases and then stabilizes at a specific value. In each input vector, the parameters for the three simulations must be specified (finite numbers for the initial population abundance). The simulations are obtained by a model that incorporates the effects of temperature over time, which leads to a non-autonomous ODE approach. This is function uses the ODE solver implemented in the package deSolve (Soetaert et al., 2010).

(1) A data.frame with columns having the simulated trends.

(2) A two-panel figure in which (a) shows the population abundance curves represented by solid lines and the corresponding carrying capacities are represented by shaded areas. In (b) the temperature trend is shown. The three simultaneous simulations are depicted by different colors, i.e. 1st brown, 2nd green and 3rd blue.
