Subject: Populus 5.3 now available
Dear Populus User,
Populus 5.2.1 has been downloaded by 9,700 users in the six months since
its February release. Our Minnesota website,
http://ecology.umn.edu/populus now offers Populus 5.3, a major update
containing new modules on stage-structured population growth,
macroparasitic infection dynamics, the evolution of disease virulence, the
population biology of conjugationally transmitted plasmids, the evolution
of temperance in phage, and insect resistance management. In addition to
these content additions, we now include life history diagrams that serve as
both input and output screens for the age- and stage-projection
modules. This means that a student can initiate demographic projections by
specifying an lxmx schedule, by drawing a graph of age or stage nodes
on-screen and setting transition parameters, or by providing the elements
of a projection matrix and population-state vector. Finally, we have
collected the Populus help screens into a single 110-page pdf for easy
access and improved appearance via Adobe Acrobat Reader. We hope that you
enjoy the new program.
With best wishes,
Don Alstad
