| Title | Metapop |
| Short Description | Metapop simulates the evolution of meta-populations of monoecious plants accross heterogeneous landscapes. |
| Long Description | Metapop simulates the evolution of meta-populations of monoecious plants accross heterogeneous landscapes. Based on quantitative genetics theory, Metapop is individual-based, genetically and spatially explicit, its structure embodies several interacting modules. Each simulation is parameterized through a configuration environment composed of textual files. The evolutionary scenario defined is simulated by the model which produces raw data. Finally, output modules process the raw data and enable the monitoring and the analysis of evolutionary changes at the level of quantitative traits, their underlying genes or neutral markers. Fstat and Genepop files of individual values can be generated, which allows the user to further process the data with other packages. A comprehensive description of the use of Metapop is given in the following parts. A synthesis text file MTP cheatsheet.txt is available in the main directory for a quick help on basic commands. |
