mizer (version 2.0.0)

mizerRDI: Get density-independent rate of reproduction needed to project standard mizer model

Description

Calculates the density-independent rate of total egg production \(R_{p.i}\) (units 1/year) before density dependence, by species. This is obtained by taking the total rate at which energy is invested in reproduction, multiplying by the reproductive efficiency erepro and dividing by the egg size w_min, and by a factor of two to account for the two sexes.

Usage

mizerRDI(params, n, n_pp, n_other, e_repro, ...)

Arguments

params

A '>MizerParams object

n

A matrix of species abundances (species x size).

n_pp

A vector of the resource abundance by size

n_other

A list of abundances for other dynamical components of the ecosystem

e_repro

An array (species x size) with the energy available for reproduction as calculated by getERepro().

...

Unused

Value

A numeric vector with the rate of egg production for each species.

Details

Used by getRDD() to calculate the actual, density dependent rate. See setReproduction() for more details.
