Number of populations.

Matrix of transition (fecundity & survival) rates between stages at each time step (Leslie/Lefkovitch matrix).

Matrix of 0-1 to indicate which (proportions) of transition rates refer to fecundity.

Maximum transition fecundity rate (in Leslie/Lefkovitch matrix).

Density dependence can be "ceiling" (default), "logistic" (Ricker), or a user-defined function (optionally nested in a list with additional attributes) for adjusting transition rates: function(params), where params is a list passed to the function containing:

transition_array

3D array of transition rates: stages by stages by populations.

fecundity_mask

Matrix of 0-1 to indicate which (proportions) of transition rates refer to fecundity.

fecundity_max

Maximum transition fecundity rate (in Leslie/Lefkovitch matrix).

carrying_capacity

Array of carrying capacity values for each population.

stage_abundance

Matrix of abundance for each stage (rows) and population (columns).

population_abundance

Array of summed population abundances for all stages.

density_abundance

Array of summed population abundances for stages affected by density.

growth_rate_max

Maximum growth rate value or array for populations.

occupied_indices

Array of indices for populations occupied at (current) time step.

calculate_multipliers

Function (function(growth_rates)) for finding multipliers (when stages > 1) to apply to affected transitions that result in target growth rates (dominant eigenvalues).

apply_multipliers

Function (function(transition_array, multipliers) for applying (when stages > 1) multipliers to the affected transition rates within a transition array (returns multiplied transition array).

simulator

SimulatorReference object with dynamically accessible attached and results lists.

additional attributes

Additional attributes when density dependence is optionally nested in a list.

returns an adjusted transition array for occupied populations

Maximum growth rate (utilized by density dependence processes).

Matrix of booleans or numeric (0-1) indicating the transition vital rates affected by density (default is all).

Array of booleans or numeric (0,1) for each stage to indicate which stages are affected by density (default is all).

Numeric precision of the calculated multipliers (used when stages > 1) applied to affected transition rates (default is 3 decimal places).
