population_dispersal_functions {steps}

How the population disperses in a landscape.

Description

Pre-defined or custom functions to define population dispersal during a simulation. Each dispersal method uses different computing resources and may be applicable to different simulation scenarios. Please see the tutorial vignette titled "Creating custom *steps* functions" for information on how to write custom functions for use in simulations.
