Rpath is an implementation of the ecosystem model Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE; @polovina_model_1984; @christensen_ecopath_1992; @walters_structuring_1997; @christensen_ecopath_2004; @walters_fisheries_2004; @walters_ecosim_2008).

Articles for model setup, running Rpath and running Rsim describe some of the basic functionality of the package using a fictional ecosystem, R Ecosystem. Any resemblance to an actual ecosystem is purely coincidental.

To see the underlying mathematics please refer to @lucey_conducting_2020. For additional features, see @whitehouse_assessing_2020 for ecosense and @lucey_evaluating_2021 for management strategy evaluation capability.

Installation

If necessary, first install the remotes package: install.packages("remotes")
