Working hypothesis
(from proposal)
(from proposal)
ри The same model
structure will be used for all species, changing only the parameter values
(temperature/food/life-stage dependent egg production rate, development rate,
growth rate, and normalized stage-dependent mortality) and behaviors, and thus
expediting the model runs. The inputs of characteristic life history traits of
each species together with its initial abundance patterns should generate its
observed characteristic seasonal/spatial patternsис
