NeStage: Effective Population Size from Stage-Structured Populations

Computes effective population size (Ne) and the Ne/N ratio for stage-structured populations using the matrix population model framework of Yonezawa (2000) <doi:10.1111/j.0014-3820.2000.tb01244.x>. Functions are provided for sexually reproducing, clonally reproducing, and mixed (sexual + clonal) populations. Includes sensitivity and elasticity analyses for Ne/N with respect to vital rates.
