stagePop: Modelling stage-structured populations in R
نویسندگان
چکیده
stagePop is an R package that can be used to model the deterministic dynamics and interactions of stage-structured populations. These are populations where the life cycle consists of distinct stages e.g. eggs, juveniles and reproductive adults. Explicitly including stage structure when modelling the population dynamics of stage-structured organisms can have an enormous effect on the resulting dynamics. This may be because the organism is only predated upon when it is in certain life stages. Or that environmental variables, such as temperature, only influence the development rate of certain stages.

Dynamical behavior of a stage structured prey-predator model
In this paper, a new stage structured prey-predator model with linear functional response is proposed and studied. The stages for prey have been considered. The proposed mathematical model consists of three nonlinear ordinary differential equations to describe the interaction among juvenile prey, adult prey and predator populations. The model is analyzed by using linear stability analysis to ob...
متن کاملALEX: A Model For The Viability Analysis Of Spatially Structured Populations
A new generic model for assessing the viability of spatially structured populations, ALEX (Analysis of the Likelihood of EXtinction), is described. Strengths and weaknesses of ALEX are discussed. ALEX only models one sex, ignores genetics, and is inadequate for modelling the dynamics of very small populations. However ALEX contains four features that make it useful for assessing the merits of d...
متن کاملEvolution in stage-structured populations.
For many organisms, stage is a better predictor of demographic rates than age. Yet no general theoretical framework exists for understanding or predicting evolution in stage-structured populations. Here, we provide a general modeling approach that can be used to predict evolution and demography of stage-structured populations. This advances our ability to understand evolution in stage-structure...
متن کاملKaryotypic Study and Chromosome Evolution in Some Iranian Local Onion Populations
Abstract A karyotypic study was performed on 12 Iranian local onion (Allium cepa L.) populations. A number of mitotic cells at metaphase stage for each population were prepared. Chromosomes of suitable mitotic cells were counted and various parameters, including long arm (L), short arm (S), total length of chromosome (TL), relative length of chromosome (RL), arm ratio (AR), r-value, total chro...
متن کاملStationary patterns of the stage-structured predator-prey model with diffusion and cross-diffusion
Keywords: Predator–prey model Stage-structure Stability Cross-diffusion Non-constant positive steady states a b s t r a c t This paper is concerned with the reaction diffusion version with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions of a stage-structured predator–prey model. We first show that the nonnegative constant steady states are globally stable, which implies that corresponding elliptic syst...
