  <dc:title>Effective Population Size from Stage-Structured Populations</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package NeStage version 0.8.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Computes effective population size (Ne) and the Ne/N ratio for
    stage-structured populations using the matrix population model framework
    of Yonezawa (2000) &lt;doi:10.1111/j.0014-3820.2000.tb01244.x&gt;. 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.</dc:description>
