food_intake: Food intake estimation

In anttonalberdi/p3mapper: Pest predation pressure mapper

Description

Computes pest consumption estimations based on body mass of predators, digestion efficincy and average energy content of predators.

Usage

food_intake(avgmass,minmass,maxmass,efficiency,avgenergy,minenergy,maxenergy,iterations)

Arguments

avgmass	Average body mass of the predator (grams).
sdmass	Standard deviation of the body mass of the predator (grams).
avgenergy	Average energy content of the prey (kJ/g).
sdenergy	Standard deviation of the energy content of the prey (kJ/g).
efficiency	Digestion efficiency of the predator (percentage).
constanta	Digestion efficiency of the predator (percentage).
constantb	Digestion efficiency of the predator (percentage).
iterations	Number of iterations (default 100).

Value

A value (if one iteration) or vector (if multiple iterations) of prey consumption estimations.
