Annuals: Basic Trial

The basic trial for comparison to other trials is designated as C. Features
of trial C:

Source population: 30 loci, each with 100 different alleles, each allele with
frequency of 0.01.
<Dioecious value=“false”/>

<Reproduction_Rate>
<functionpoint x=“0” y=“1.6”/>
</Reproduction_Rate>

<Offspring_Distribution method=“poisson”/>

Plants are annuals:
<Mortality_Rate>
<functionpoint x=“0” y=“1”/>
</Mortality_Rate>

<Selfi ng_Rate value=“0.0”/>

<RandomMating value=“false”/>

Offspring dispersal distance schedule from carpellate plant:
<Dispersal_Distribution>
<functionpoint x=“0” y=“0”/>
<functionpoint x=“10” y=“0.35”/> 35% distributed from 1-10 units
<functionpoint x=“25” y=“0.7”/> 35% distributed from 11-25 units
<functionpoint x=“55” y=“0.95”/> 25% distributed from 26-55 units
<functionpoint x=“701” y=“1”/> 5% distributed from 56-701 units

</Dispersal_Distribution>

NEWGARDEN can be used to design preserve systems that are more
complex than the simple squares used previously. For example, note the
following preserve specifi cations: Left and right preserves are each a square
with 5,120 units to a side. The corridor has a height and length equal to
20% of a preserve side measure of 5,120 units (1,024 units). This is called
a “20% corridor”.
