Expand the population range

Expands the spatial population range by a specified distance in a given time-window

Usage

expand_range(
  pop,
  by,
  end,
  start,
  overlap = 0.8,
  snapshots = NULL,
  polygon = NULL,
  lock = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

pop

Object of the class slendr_pop

by

How many units of distance to expand by?

start, end

When does the expansion start/end?

overlap

Minimum overlap between subsequent spatial boundaries

snapshots

The number of intermediate snapshots (overrides the overlap parameter)

polygon

Geographic region to restrict the expansion to

lock

Maintain the same density of individuals. If FALSE (the default), the number of individuals in the population will not change. If TRUE, the number of individuals simulated will be changed (increased or decreased) appropriately, to match the new population range area.

verbose

Report on the progress of generating intermediate spatial boundaries?

Value

Object of the class slendr_pop, which contains population parameters such as name, time of appearance in the simulation, parent population (if any), and its spatial parameters such as map and spatial boundary.

Details

Note that because slendr models have to accomodate both SLiM and msprime back ends, population sizes and times of events are rounded to the nearest integer value.

Examples

# spatial definitions -----------------------------------------------------

# create a blank abstract world 1000x1000 distance units in size
map <- world(xrange = c(0, 1000), yrange = c(0, 1000), landscape = "blank")

# create a circular population with the center of a population boundary at
# [200, 800] and a radius of 100 distance units, 1000 individuals at time 1
# occupying a map just specified
pop1 <- population("pop1", N = 1000, time = 1,
                   map = map, center = c(200, 800), radius = 100)

# printing a population object to a console shows a brief summary

#> map: abstract spatial landscape with custom features
#> stays until the end of the simulation
#> 
#> population history overview:
#>   - time 1: created as an ancestral population (N = 1000)

# create another population occupying a polygon range, splitting from pop1
# at a given time point (note that specifying a map is not necessary because
# it is "inherited" from the parent)
pop2 <- population("pop2", N = 100, time = 50, parent = pop1,
                        polygon = list(c(100, 100), c(320, 30), c(500, 200),

                   center = c(800, 800), radius = 200)

# move "pop1" to another location along a specified trajectory and saved the
# resulting object to the same variable (the number of intermediate spatial
# snapshots can be also determined automatically by leaving out the
# `snapshots = ` argument)
