Calculate Larval Stage Mortality Rate

Calculate \(\mu_{l}\), the larval mortality, given by $$\mu_l=1-\Bigg( \frac{R_m * \mu_{ad}}{1/2 * \beta * (1-\mu_m)} \Bigg)^{\frac{1}{T_e+T_l+T_p}}$$

Usage

  generationPopGrowthRate,
  adultMortality,
  fertility,
  aquaticStagesDuration
)

Arguments

See calcPopulationGrowthRate

adultMortality

Adult mortality rate, \(\mu_{ad}\)

fertility

Number of eggs per oviposition for wild-type females, \(\beta\)

aquaticStagesDuration

Vector of lengths of aquatic stages, \(T_{e}, T_{l}, T_{p}\)
