metapopulation

Class representing a landscape graph with species' patch occupancy data, as produced by <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/species.graph?package=MetaLandSim&version=1.0.4" data-mini-rdoc="MetaLandSim::species.graph">species.graph</a></code>, <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/convert.graph?package=MetaLandSim&version=1.0.4" data-mini-rdoc="MetaLandSim::convert.graph">convert.graph</a></code> and <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/import.shape?package=MetaLandSim&version=1.0.4" data-mini-rdoc="MetaLandSim::import.shape">import.shape</a></code>.

Tools to generate random landscape graphs, evaluate species
occurrence in dynamic landscapes, simulate future landscape occupation and
evaluate range expansion when new empty patches are available (e.g. as a
result of climate change).
