Multi-nutrient optimal-foraging model for African elephant diet selection: code, input data and predicted diets
Listed in figshare
<p dir="ltr">Linear-programming model predicting African elephant diets under eight foraging strategies at seven South African reserves in two seasons, with the observed diets, availability data, all predicted diets, deviation rankings and a browse:grass sensitivity analysis.
Description
Python re-implementation of the original MATLAB model, validated against its output run by run. Associated manuscript: van Lelyveld, H. M., Slotow, R., Pretorius, Y. & Somers, M. J., Multi-nutrient foraging strategies of elephants vary along a South African rainfall gradient.
