EcoEvoApps

EcoEvoApps provides interactive R/Shiny applications that simulate canonical theoretical models in population dynamics, species interactions, and landscape ecology to facilitate exploration and application of ecological and evolutionary theory.

Key Features:

• Interactive model simulations: Simulates theoretical models with visual outputs that allow evaluation of model structures and exploration of outcomes.
• Parameter manipulation: Exposes model parameters for manipulation and simulation to assess parameter effects on model behavior.
• Model overviews and implementation code: Includes model overviews accompanied by executable R code for replication and extension of analyses.
• Focus on canonical models: Implements canonical models in population dynamics, species interactions, and landscape ecology.
• Implementation platform: Built using R/Shiny.

Scientific Applications:

• Theoretical exploration: Enables simulation-based exploration of predictions from models in population dynamics, species interactions, and landscape ecology.
• Parameter sensitivity and behavior analysis: Facilitates assessment of how parameter variation influences ecological dynamics and evolutionary processes.
• Reproducible model implementation: Supports replication and extension of theoretical analyses via provided R code.

Methodology:

Mathematical models are implemented in R/Shiny with visual simulations and executable R code that expose model parameters for simulation and analysis.
