w_to_rmax: Compute rmax from adult female body mass
In FRBCesab/popbayes: Bayesian Model to Estimate Population Trends from Counts Series
w_to_rmax R Documentation
Compute rmax from adult female body mass
Description
The demographic potential of a species is limited. The intrinsic rate of
increase rmax is the maximum increase in log population size that a
species can attain in a year. According to Sinclair (2003), it is related
to the body mass of adult females by: 1.375 \times W^{-0.315}
Usage
w_to_rmax(w)
Arguments
w
a numerical vector. Adult female body mass (in kg).
Value
A numerical vector of rmax values.
References

ecosystem dynamics. Philosophical Transactions: Biological Sciences,
358, 1729-1740.
Examples
## Set adult female body mass ----
body_masses <- c(55, 127)
## Add species names ----
names(body_masses) <- c("Impala", "Tiang")
## Compute species rmax ----
w_to_rmax(body_masses)
