Number of replicate simulation runs.

Number of simulation time steps.

Number of years per time step.

Number of populations.

Boolean for optionally choosing demographic stochasticity for the transformation.

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

Either a matrix of dispersal rates between populations (source columns to target rows) or a list of data frames of non-zero dispersal rates and indices for constructing a compact dispersal matrix, and optional changing rates over time (as per class DispersalGenerator dispersal_data attribute). Alternatively a user-defined function (optionally nested in a list with additional attributes) may be used: function(params), where params is a list passed to the function containing:

replicates

Number of replicate simulation runs.

time_steps

Number of simulation time steps.

years_per_step

Number of years per time step.

populations

Number of populations.

stages

Number of lifecycle stages.

demographic_stochasticity

Boolean for optionally choosing demographic stochasticity for the transformation.

density_stages

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

dispersal_stages

Array of relative dispersal (0-1) for each stage to indicate the degree to which each stage participates in dispersal.

dispersal_source_n_k

Dispersal proportion (p) density dependence via source population abundance divided by carrying capacity (n/k), where p is reduced via a linear slope (defined by two list items) from n/k <= cutoff (p = 0) to n/k >= threshold.

dispersal_target_k

Dispersal rate (r) density dependence via target population carrying capacity (k), where r is reduced via a linear slope (through the origin) when k <= threshold.

dispersal_target_n

Dispersal rate (r) density dependence via target population abundance (n), where r is reduced via a linear slope (defined by two list items) from n >= threshold to n <= cutoff (r = 0) or visa-versa.

r

Simulation replicate.

tm

Simulation time step.

carrying_capacity

Array of carrying capacity values for each population at time step.

stage_abundance

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

occupied_indices

Array of indices for populations occupied at time step.

simulator

SimulatorReference object with dynamically accessible attached and results lists.

additional attributes

Additional attributes when the transformation is optionally nested in a list.

returns the post-dispersal abundance matrix

Array of relative dispersal (0-1) for each stage to indicate the degree to which each stage participates in dispersal (default is 1 for all stages).

Dispersal proportion (p) density dependence via source population abundance divided by carrying capacity (n/k), where p is reduced via a linear slope (defined by two list items) from n/k <= cutoff (p = 0) to n/k >= threshold or visa-versa.

Dispersal rate (r) density dependence via target population carrying capacity (k), where r is reduced via a linear slope (through the origin) when k <= threshold.

Dispersal rate (r) density dependence via target population abundance (n), where r is reduced via a linear slope (defined by two list items) from n >= threshold to n <= cutoff (r = 0) or visa-versa.
