Monthly population with seasonal breeding window: density-dependent births · case 02
Populations above the cap lose animals through negative births.
Case contract
Calendar month of step t is ((start_month-1+t) mod 12)+1; the breeding window is inclusive and may wrap across the new year (start > end); each month survival is applied first, then in breeding months births fecundity*N*max(0,1-N/cap); return monthly N rounded 4.
Why this case matters
Population projections set harvest quotas, conservation status and pest-control timing; a wrong update order, boundary or rate conversion silently changes management advice.
