Stranded-package: Calculate Biological Parameters from Stranded Cetaceans

In milokmilo/Stranded: Calculate Biological Parameters from Stranded Cetaceans

Description

This package calculates biological parameters from stranded marine mammals, mainly dolphins with a fairly good sample size. The package calculates the mortality-at-age of the population based on life tables and Siler and/or Heligman-Pollard functions, assuming bycatch or other threat that cause an extra mortality.
