Build a PatchVars.csv File

Please indicate the path to the coordinates file on the left panel. Doing this will define the number of patches in your system. PatchesID .

Enter the carrying capacity of your patches. A K value of 0 means individuals will not move into the patch. K

Enter the +/- annual variation for your patches K StDev

Enter the population number of your patches. N0

Identify whether your patches are natal ground locations Natal Grounds

Parameters entered here will define density-independent mortality applied to each patch and should range between 0 and 1 (0 = no mortality, 1 = 100% mortality). Warning! These parameters will interact with class specific values (ClassVars.csv) See user manual for how class and patch interact.

Set the mortality rate for individuals during the rearing/overwintering/foraging stage Mortality Out

Set the standard deviation for the mortality rate during the rearing/overwintering/foraging stage Mortality Out StDev

Set the mortality rate for individuals during the spawning stage Mortality Back

Set the standard deviation for the mortality rate during the spawning stage Mortality Back StDev

Set the mortality rate for individuals during the egg/litter stage Mortality Eggs

Set the standard deviation for the mortality rate during the egg/litter stage Mortality Eggs StDev

Parameters entered here will define movement, dispersal, and straying among patches. Warning! These parameters will be multiplied by class specific values (ClassVars.csv) See user manual for how class and patch interact.

Apply Movement Parameters?

No Yes

Emigration probability [0-1] applied before moving to rearing/overwinter grounds. If just age/size class migration is wanted, then set these values to 1. Migration Out Prob

If an individual becomes a migrant, does it stay an annual migrant for life? Set Migration Out

Y N

Set return probability [0-1] (Default 1 means all migrants return) Migration Back Prob

Set straying probability [0-1] Straying Prob

Set dispersal probability [0-1] Dispersal Prob

Parameters entered here will define temperature-dependent growth at each patch.

Do you want to turn on temperature-dependent growth?

No Yes

Define the temperature value that influences body size growth of individuals after migration out of natal grounds: GrowthTemperatureOut

Define the standard deviation around the temperature value for growth out: GrowthTemperatureOutStDev

Define the number of growing days corresponding to the growth time out [0-365]: GrowDaysOut

Define the standard deviation around the number of growing days for growth time out: GrowDaysOutStDev

Define the temperature value that influence body size growth of individuals after migration back to natal grounds: GrowthTemperatureBack

Define the standard deviation around the temperature value for growth back: GrowthTemperatureBackStDev

Define the number of growing days corresponding to the growth time back [0-365]: GrowDaysBack

Define the standard deviation around the number of growing days for growth back: GrowDaysBackStDev

Warning: Selection parameters entered here are dependent on what is defined in the cdevolveans parameter of the PopVars.csv file.

Do you want to apply selection?

No Basic 1-locus Basic 2-locus Epistatic Growth-dependent selection Maturation-dependent selection

Warning: If you want to apply selection, make sure to also update the cdevolveans parameter in the PopVars.csv file to match the type of selection you want to apply. See user manual for more details.

Do you want to calculate capture probabilities?

No Yes

Define the capture probability when individuals are out from natal grounds [0-1]: Capture Probability Out

Define the capture probability when individuals are back at natal grounds [0-1]: Capture Probability Back

Do you want to apply habitat quality values for use with the plasticity module?

No Yes

Define the habitat quality value for use during the outward migration [0-1]: HabitatOut

Define the habitat quality value for use during the returning migration [0-1]: HabitatBack

Do you want to include interspecific competition?

No Yes

Define the value of he competitive impact : comp_coef
