Compute the total availability of egg-laying habitats, $Q$

Usage

compute_Qtot(Q, Q_ovitraps, Q_bad_habitats)

Arguments

Q

the availability of ovitraps

Q_ovitraps

the availability of ovitraps

Q_bad_habitats

the availability of unsuitable habitats

Value

a vector of describing habitat availability, $Q$, of length nPatches

Details

The availability of the habitats that we have defined in the model, denoted $Q$, sums search weights, ${\omega }_h$, by patch using the habitat membership matrix, $N$, and we can compute $$Q=N\cdot {\omega }_h.$$ If some ovitraps and bad_habitats are also available, with values $Q_o$ and $Q_b$ respectively, then $$Q=Q_h+Q_o+Q_b.$$ The availability of habitats, ovitraps and bad_habitats are computed elsewhere and stored on pars$vars.
