WILDLIFE: Elaboration of Survival and Reproduction Tables

DESCRIPTION

WILDLIFE is a package for analysing malthusian population main features. It has a database where experimental measures of survival and fertility of a population cohort can be stored and managed, and a computational module which determines life tables of the population and displays the most significant ecological indicators such as expected life length at different ages, average life length, number of survivals at each age, distribution of age at the death, and so on. Many of these indicators can be also displayed in graphic form.
