Elasticity and Sensitivity of the Vital rates

Created: 2014-08-29 14:30:47

This workflow calculates the Elasticity and Sensitivity of population growth rate with respect to various vital rates. The goal in both cases is to determine which vital rates has/ve the most influence on population growth rate (?).

Elasticity and Sensitivity: Sensitivity and elasticity analyses are prospective analyses.

a) The sensitivity matrix: The sensitivity describes the effect on ? of changes in vital rates of the matrix. The derivative tells what would happened to ? if aij was to change, not whether, or in what direction, or how much, aij actually change (Caswell 2001).

b) The Elasticity matrix: The elasticities of ? with respect to the vital rate are often interpreted as the “relative contributions” of each of the vital rates to ? (de Kroon et al 1986). For further information see: de Kroon, et al., 1986. and Caswell 2001.

This Rscript extract sensitivities and elansticities of the vital rates from a decomposed matrix. This code was developed by R. Salguero-Gomez (Max Planck Institute) modified after E. Jongejans (Nijmegen University). Last modified: Mar 29th, 2012, Modified for Taverna by Maria Paula Balcazar-Vargas.
