nicholsonBailey: Nicholson-Bailey Host Parasitoid Model

In tessington/quantecol: Introduction to Quantitative Ecology

Nicholson-Bailey Host Parasitoid Model

Description

This function simulates the dynamics of the Nicholson Bailey Host Parasitoid model, plots Fig. 4.9, and returns the Jacobian matrix, dominant eigenvalue and eigenvalue magnitude

Usage

nicholsonBailey(perturb = 1.01, viewcode = FALSE)

Arguments

perturb	is a multiplier that is used to perturb the model away from equilibrium. The default 1.01 perturbs by 1 percent away from equilibrium
viewcode	TRUE or FALSE (default) indicating whether to print the function code

Value

a list object containing jacobian matrix, dominant eigenvalue, and eigenvalue magnitude

Examples

# generate plot with equivalent to Fig 4.9
nicholsonBailey()
# generate a plot with larger perturbation away from equilibrium
nicholsonBailey(perturb = 1.05)
#view  commands
nicholsonBailey(viewcode = TRUE)
