set_proportion_dispersing: Set proportions of populations dispersing

set_proportion_dispersingR Documentation

Set proportions of populations dispersing

Description

This function allows a user to specify what proportions of populations in each life-stage disperse. It operates similarly on all cells and in all timesteps throughout a simulation.

Usage

set_proportion_dispersing(proportions = 1)

Arguments

proportions

A single value or vector of proportions (between zero and one) of individuals in each life stage that disperse - default is 1. If proportions are specified as a single number, then all life-stages disperse with that proportion, however, a vector of proportions (equal in length to the number of life-stages) can also be specified. To prevent stages from dispersing, set corresponding values to zero.

Value

An object of class dispersal_proportion_function

Examples


# Example of a proportion function that disperses no population in the first life stage,
# 50% of the second, and 90% of the 3rd. 

## Not run: 
prop_dispersal <- set_proportion_dispersing(proportions = c(0, 0.5, 0.9))

kb_dispersal <- kernel_dispersal(dispersal_proportion = prop_dispersal,
                      max_distance = 2000,
                      dispersal_kernel = exponential_dispersal_kernel(distance_decay = 1000))

ls <- landscape(population = egk_pop, suitability = egk_hab, carrying_capacity = egk_k)

pd <- population_dynamics(change = growth(egk_mat), dispersal = kb_dispersal)

simulation(landscape = ls, population_dynamics = pd, habitat_dynamics = NULL, timesteps = 20)
