Log-log plots of variance vs. sensitivity ... (1)

• Download

This workflow creates log-log plots of both variance vs. sensitivity and CV vs. elasticity in matrix elements. Plots are based on Figure 2 in Pfister (1998). This workflow calculates as well the summary mean, variance, CV, sensitivities and elasticities of each matrix element of the submitted matrices. Please if you want to know more about this analyses please refer to: Pfister, C.A. 1998. Patterns of variance in stage-structured populations: Evolutionary predictions and ecological implica...

Life Table Response Experiment year effect... (1)

• Download

The Life Table Response Experiments Year Effect for Multiple Places workflow provides an environment to analyse two or more matrices (e.g., two or more matrices of different years from one place) at two or more different locations. The objective of this workflow is to determine the effects of the research years (2 or more) on ?. This workflow performs a fixed LTRE, one way design (Caswell 2001). LTRE is a retrospective analysis (Caswell 1989), beginning with data on the vital rates and on ?...

Calculate quasi-extinction threshold. (1)

• Download

This workflow estimates by simulation the quasi-extinction probability time cumulative distribution function for a structured population in an independently and identically distributed (iid) stochastic environment. This workflow is based on the popbio package (stoch.quasi.ext - Calculate quasi-extinction threshold, Stubben, Milligan and Nantel, 2013) based on the The MATLAB code in Box 7.5 (Morris and Doak 2002). For more details of the analysis see: Calculating the probability of hitting a q...

Parametric Bootstrap or Resample a project... (3)

The Parametric Bootstrap or Resample a projection matrix Workflow provides an environment to resample a projection matrix using a multinomial distribution for transitions and a log normal distribution for fertilities (Stubben, Milligan, and Nantel. 2011). The resample is based on number of plants surveyed. The projection matrix A is first split into separate transition and fertility matrices. Dead fates are added to the transition matrix and the columns are then sampled from a Multinomial dis...
