env_traits: Generate Species Env. Traits

In plthompson/mcomsimr: Simulates Metacommunity Dynamics in R

Generate Species Env. Traits

Description

Generates species specific traits for density independent environmental responses

Usage

env_traits(
  species,
  max_r = 5,
  min_env = 0,
  max_env = 1,
  env_niche_breadth = 0.5,
  optima,
  plot = TRUE,
  optima_spacing = "random"
)

Arguments

species	number of species to simulate
max_r	intrinsic growth rate in optimal environment, can be single value or vector of length species
min_env	minium environmental optima
max_env	minium environmental optima
env_niche_breadth	standard deviation of environmental niche breadth, can be single value or vector of length species
optima	optional values of environmental optima, should be a vector of length species
plot	option to show plot of environmental variation
optima_spacing	"even" or "random" to specify how optima should be distributed

Value

dataframe an optima and niche breadth for each species
