Description

Various functions from Alonso and McKane 2004 dealing with analytical solutions of a neutral model of biodiversity

Usage

alonso.eqn6(JM, n, theta)
alonso.eqn11(J, n, theta)
alonso.eqn12(J, n, theta, give=FALSE)

Arguments

J, JM

Size of the community and metacommunity respectively

n

Abundance

theta

Biodiversity constant

give

In function alonso.eqn12(), Boolean with default FALSE meaning to return the value of the integral, and TRUE meaning to return the full output of integrate()
