Description
Run Allometric Trophic Networks Models.
Description
Implements the differential equations associated to different versions of Allometric Trophic Models (ATN) to estimate the temporal dynamics of species biomasses in food webs. It offers several features to generate synthetic food webs and to parametrise models as well as a wrapper to the ODE solver deSolve.

To do
There might be some opportunities to optimise execution time of the armadillo models, especially regarding bracketing of expressions based on matrix algebra. Not important to investigate, but could be nice to have a look at some point. Need a good knowledge of the approach though
Some parameters now use the same values for all nodes it refers to. Maybe we should change that to vectors to make them node specific and having something more general:
- In Schneider: D (turnover rate of the nutrients) is a single value common to all nutrient pools.
- In all models, interspecific competition is a scalar.
