\(\cal L\) Component Derivatives for a basicL

Source: R/aquatic-basicL.R

This implements differential equation model for aquatic mosquito ecology. It has been modified slightly from a version published by Smith DL, et al. (2013): $$dL/dt = \eta - (\psi + \phi + \theta L)L$$

Parameters:

  • \(\eta\): egg deposition rate

  • \(\psi\): maturation rate

  • \(\phi\): density-independent death rate

  • \(\theta\): density dependence in mortality: the slope of the response to mean crowding

Per-capita mortality is thus \(\phi + \theta L\), and the emergence rate of adult mosquitoes is \(\psi L\)
