prep_pars: Prepare metacommunity parameters

In javirudolph/iStructureMetaco: an R package for the analysis of the internal structure of metacommunities

Description

This function is used to prepare the parameters in a useful format and avoid lengthy code for every simulation. It will output all parameters in a list ready for the main_sim_fx()

Usage

prep_pars(
  N = NULL,
  D = NULL,
  R = NULL,
  nicheOpt = NULL,
  breadth = NULL,
  alpha = NULL,
  interx_col = NULL,
  interx_ext = NULL,
  makeRDS = FALSE,
  whereToSave = NULL,
  objName = NULL
)

Arguments

N	number of patches for the simulation
D	number of environmental variables simulated
R	number of species for the simulation
nicheOpt	vector with niche optima for each species. Default is range equally divided among species.
breadth	niche breadth. As reference 0.8 as narrow and 2 as broad with a quadratic response.
alpha	dispersal parameter associated to an exponential distribution
makeRDS	whether to save the output as an RDS file
whereToSave	file path to save output
objName	name for the output
interex_col	Species sensitivity to interactions. For our simulations, sensitivity is set the same for all species, and both for colonization and extinction
interex_ext	Species sensitivity to interactions. For our simulations, sensitivity is set the same for all species, and both for colonization and extinction
