CDMetaPOP: An individual-based, eco-evolutionary model for spatially explicit simulation of landscape demogenetics
January 1, 2016
1. Combining landscape demographic and genetics models offers powerful methods for addressing questions for eco-evolutionary applications.
2. Using two illustrative examples, we present Cost–Distance Meta-POPulation, a program to simulate changes in neutral and/or selection-driven genotypes through time as a function of individual-based movement, complex spatial population dynamics, and multiple and changing landscape drivers.
3. Cost–Distance Meta-POPulation provides a novel tool for questions in landscape genetics by incorporating population viability analysis, while linking directly to conservation applications.
