rtSetDepositionRatesByAgeDI: setting age specific density-INdependent larval deposition...

In AndySouth/rtsetse: simulating tsetse fly populations

Description

rtSetDepositionRatesByAgeDI sets age dependent larval deposition rates that are the same for all females in the popn. and do not differ by density or location. Compatible with the grid model.

Usage

rtSetDepositionRatesByAgeDI(iMaxAge = 120, iFirstLarva = 16,
  iInterLarva = 10, pMortLarva = 0.05)

Arguments

iMaxAge	the maximum age of flies, females
iFirstLarva	age that first larva deposited
iInterLarva	gap between deposition of larvae
pMortLarva	larval mortality rate

Details

see rtSetDepositionRatesByAge for a deprecated density-dependent version. The previous version used the length of the vector of females to get the maximum age, this version needs the iMaxAge argument.

Value

a vector of larval deposition probabilities
