MetaIPM: A Meta-population Integral Projection Model v 2.0

June 17, 2024

MetaIPM is a Python package (Python Software Foundation 2020) that models meta-population dynamics and continuous growth rates via an integral projection model (IPM) for species living in distinct habitat patches.
The package stems from a model that compares invasive carp population control strategies (Erickson et al. 2018).
For example, Erickson et al. (2017) used an R predecessor version of this model to examine how YY-males could be used to control grass carp.
The package supports differing sex and any organisms living in distinct habitat patches.
