[Nemo2-user] Nemo2: question on population stat outputs

[Francois L. (PACA) <fra...@in...>]

Hello,
(sorry if this mailing list is not the appropriate way to post these 
questions, if it is not just tell me)

two questions about the population stat outputs:

1) for each patch /i/, both statistics of the nb of offspring 
(/off.fem.pi)/ and nb of adults (/adlt.fem.pi)/ can reach the patch 
capacity eventhough they are computed after the regulation step (see 
Life cycle below): do I correctly understand that population regulation 
is made independently for offspring and adults?
(after aging and mortality of the adults, only the younger cohort is 
kept and becomes adult, ending to the appropriate capacity)

2) how is computed the number of residents per patch (/resid.pi)/ ? This 
number largely exceeds the carrying capacity and also exceeds the number 
of adults of the patch: does it represent the "memory" of the total 
number of local individuals before regulation, i.e. nb of adults and 
locally produced offspring?

The Life cycle is the following:
breed_disperse 1
seed_disp 2
viability_selection 3
regulation 4
save_stats 5
store 6
aging 7
save_files 8

Thank you!
François
