In AndySouth/rtsetse: simulating tsetse fly populations

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

rt_runAspatial runs an a-spatial popn simulation as a test of phase 1 model components. This differs from previous tests in being closer to Hat-trick.
~ uses age-dependent mortalities.
~ tries to start popn. at stable age structure.
rt_runAspatial was developed from rtPhase1Test3

`iDays`	days to run simulation
`iMaxAge`	max age of fly allowed in model (will warn if flies age past this)
`iCarryCapF`	carrying capacity of adult females
`fMperF`	numbers of males per female, default 0.5 for half as many M as F
`fStartPopPropCC`	starting population as a proportion of carrying capacity, default = 1
`iStartAdults`	number of adults to start simulation with
`iStartAges`	spread start adults across the first n ages classes
`iStartPupae`	number of pupae to start simulation with (they get spread across sex&age)
`pMortF`	adult female mortality on day1, rates on later days are determined by following parameters.
`pMortM`	adult male mortality on day1, rates on later days are determined by following parameters.
`iMortMinAgeStart`	Age at which min death rates start.
`iMortMinAgeStop`	Age at which min death rates stop.
`fMortMinProp`	What proportion of the maximum death rate on day 0 is the minimum death rate.
`fMortOldProp`	What proportion of the maximum death rate on day 0 is the death rate after iDeathMinAgeStop.
`propMortAdultDD`	proportion of adult mortality that is density dependent
`pMortPupa`	pupal mortality per period
`propMortPupaDD`	proportion of pupal mortality that is density dependent
`iPupDurF`	days it takes pupa(F) to develop
`iPupDurM`	days it takes pupa(M) to develop
`iFirstLarva`	Age that female produces first larva
`iInterLarva`	Inter-larval period
`pMortLarva`	larval mortality per period
`propMortLarvaDD`	proportion of larval mortality that is density dependent
`plot`	whether to plot graphs
`verbose`	whether to output progress messages to console
