conn.mat |
a square connectivity matrix. |
nev |
number of eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors to be calculated. |
delta |
the effect of protecting site i (e.g. increase in survival or fecundity in protected areas relative to unprotected areas). Now a single value, in future it will be possible to specify site-specific values. The perturbation theory used in the construction of the algorithm assumes delta to be small (e.g. delta=0.1). However, higher values give also good results. |
theta |
the threshold of donor times recipient value that a site must have to be selected. |
M |
the maximal number of sites selected from each subpopulation even if there are more sites above the threshold theta |
epsilon.lambda |
Threshold for removing complex eigenvalues. |
epsilon.uv |
Threshold for removing eigenvectors with elements of opposite signs of comparable magnitude. |
only.list |
Logical, whether the function return only the list of selected sites or also the predicted impact of each selected site on the eigenvalues |

Additional arguments for the |
If only.list is TRUE
, just returns the list of selected sites.
If FALSE
, then result will be a list containing selected sites and
predicted impact of each selected site on the eigenvalues.
