Modifies growth of population in time *t + 1* by the population size in time *t*.

Usage

dd.growth.general(N, r, K, theta = 1)

Arguments

N

Number of individuals or biomass in time t. Can (should) be a vector structure according to group_by.

r

Intrinsic rate of increase or baseline growth rate.

K

Carrying capacity. Can be a vector for each stage and can vary by patches.

theta

Shape parameter that modifies the growth form from *t* to *t+1*. If *theta* = 1, then it takes a logitic shape (Beverton-Holt-like); if > 1, it becomes more concave; if < 1, it becomes more convex; and if *theta* = 0, then it takes an density-dependent exponential shape (Ricker-like).

Note

This produces very similar results as `dd.growth.logistic`.
