Stage-structurated population model: manatees

Short description

Deterministic versions:

• The simplest version:

population_deterministic.R

• With water capacity effect:

warm_water_capacity_deterministic.R

population_deterministic_water_capacity_effect.R

Stochastic versions:

• The simplest version:

Some math notes for stochastic

population_stochastic.R

• Adding more features (water capacity, catastrophes, cold stress):

Some math notes for stochastic (cont1.)

observation.R

population_stochastic_water_capacity_effect.R

Some math notes for stochastic (cont2.)

population_stochastic_water_capacity_effect_catastrophes.R

population_stochastic_water_capacity_effect_catastrophes_cold_AT.R

• Adding the effect of regulation (boating speed limits):

Final report (instructions): 

• Around 15 pages (english or french):

• 1. Minimum requirement: AT region + another one + interpretation of the results

  2. For higher scores: extra regions + Florida statewide
