gause_1931_AmN_f02

A dataset containing the population size of Tribolium confusum at the upper asymptote,
as a characteristic for the population beeing in equilibrium, under different quantities of food (flour).
Gause's goal was to determine the influence of ecological factors on population growth.

datasets

A collection of tools and data for analyzing the Gause microcosm experiments, and for fitting Lotka-Volterra models to time series data. Includes methods for fitting single-species logistic growth, and multi-species interaction models, e.g. of competition, predator/prey relationships, or mutualism. See documentation for individual functions for examples. In general, see the lv_optim() function for examples of how to fit parameter values in multi-species systems. Note that the general methods applied here, as well as the form of the differential equations that we use, are described in detail in the Quantitative Ecology textbook by Lehman et al., available at <http://hdl.handle.net/11299/204551>, and in Lina K.
