NEff-package
(Package: NEff) :
Calculating Effective Sizes Based on Known Demographic Parameters of a Population
Effective population sizes (often abbreviated as "Neff") are essential in biodiversity monitoring and conservation. For the first time, calculating effective sizes with data obtained within less than a generation but considering demographic parameters is possible. This individual based model uses demographic parameters of a population to calculate annual effective sizes and effective population sizes (per generation). A defined number of alleles and loci will be used to simulate the genotypes of the individuals. Stepwise mutation rates can be included. Variations in life history parameters (sex ratio, sex-specific survival, recruitment rate, reproductive skew) are possible. These results will help managers to define existing populations as viable or not.

population
(Package: NEff) :
individual based population model
population calls the individual based population model. Demographic parameter of a population are used as input values to calculate annual effective sizes and effective population sizes (per generation). Heterozygosity over time is observed and used to calculate effective sizes. The population can be adapted to every life history parameter combination or genetic variation.
