Turtle Predator Prey Simulation (TurPPS)
This a project aimed at developing a discrete predator-prey automata system representing the migration of hatchling sea turtles from their natal beaches to the oceanic life stage. In the case of loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta the oceanic stage begins when the hatchling reaches the north Atlantic Gyre. This scope of this project
Outline
The scope of this project is as folows.
- Examine the association of predation pressure, obstacle presence, sexual fitness and predator homing on predation rates
- Use predator data obtained from SEDAR (http://www.sefsc.noaa.gov/sedar/) and published data to estimate parameters
- Simulate and estimate predation rates for the north-atlantic loggerhead population
- Release generalized and north west Atlantic loggerhead specific versions of the code
