Multispecies competition-colonization tradeoff

Description

Simulates the trade-off between colonization and competition abilities in a multispecies system.

Usage

comCompete(rw, cl, S, fi, fsp1, pe, fr=0, int=0, tmax)

Arguments

Details

In the system, the competitive abilities are inversely proportional to the colonization abilities.

The number of patches in the simulated landscape is defined by rw*cl.

Value

'comCompete' returns a graph with the proportion of patches occupied in time by each species and the trade-off scale, the superior competitor in one side and the superior colonizator in the other.
