Description Usage Arguments Details Value Copyright Author(s)

Documentation for SLiM function addEmpty, which is a method of the SLiM class Subpopulation. Note that the R function is a stub, it does not do anything in R (except bring up this documentation). It will only do anything useful when used inside a slim_block function further nested in a slim_script function call, where it will be translated into valid SLiM code as part of a full SLiM script.

1	addEmpty(sex)

sex

An object of type null or float or string. Must be of length 1 (a singleton). The default value is NULL. See details for description.

Generates a new offspring individual with empty genomes (i.e., containing no mutations), queues it for addition to the target subpopulation, and returns it. The new offspring will not be visible as a member of the target subpopulation until the end of the offspring generation life cycle stage. No recombination() or mutation() callbacks will be called. The target subpopulation will be used to locate applicable modifyChild() callbacks governing the generation of the offspring individual (unlike the other addX() methods, because there is no parental individual to reference). The offspring is considered to have no parents for the purposes of pedigree tracking. The sex parameter is treated as in addCrossed(). Note that this method is only for use in nonWF models. See addCrossed() for further general notes on the addition of new offspring individuals.

An object of type null or Individual object. Return will be of length 1 (a singleton)
