What problem does it solve?
This Skill guides an AI agent through population viability analysis using matrix population models (Leslie and Lefkovitch) to estimate extinction risk, project population trajectories, assess sensitivity and elasticity, run stochastic PVAs, compute mean time to extinction, and perform IUCN Criterion E assessments.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Deterministic lambda (位) estimation, stable stage distribution, and basic projections from a mean vital-rate matrix.
- Sensitivity and elasticity analysis to identify the transitions that most influence population growth.
- Stochastic PVA with configurable n_simulations to estimate extinction probabilities, MTE, and stochastic growth rate.
- IUCN Criterion E classification based on extinction risk curves and time horizons.
- Scenario testing (droughts, poaching, catastrophes) and generation of outputs for conservation planning.
Quick Start
Run a full matrix-PVA on the provided vital-rate CSV to generate 位, P(ext), and IUCN outputs.
