Usage

deathFuncDefault(stage, x, time, species, strain)

Arguments

stage

(integer). The numbered life stage for which to return a death rate.

x

Vector of state variables within the DDE solver. To access a variable use: x$speciesName['stageName',strainNumber] e.g. for species 'Bacteria', stage 'reproductive', strain 2 use x$Bacteria['reproductive',2] If there is only one stage and strain in species 'Food', for example, use x$Food[1,1]

time

(scalar). The current time point in the DDE solver.

species

(integer). The numbered species for which to return a death rate.

strain

(integer). The numbered strain for which to return a death rate.
