Extinction rate for a given set of biotic interactions.

Source: R/RcppExports.R

This function returns the extinction associated with a given biotic environment.

extinction(inter, basexti, mn, mx, shape)

Arguments

inter

a real number giving the sum of interactions.
basexti

extinction rate without interaction.
mn, mx

a real number coefficient by which basexti should be multiply to obtain the minimum and maximum rate of extinction.
shape

a positive real number controlling the impact of biotic interactions: the larger the value the stronger the impact of interactions.

Value

Returns the extinction rate associated with a given biotic environment.
