Documentation for SLiM function addCloned, which is a method of the SLiM
class Subpopulation.
Note that the R function is a stub, it does not do anything in R (except bring
up this documentation). It will only do
anything useful when used inside a slim_block function further
nested in a slim_script
function call, where it will be translated into valid SLiM code as part of a
full SLiM script.
addCloned(parent, count, defer)An object of type Individual object. Must be of length 1 (a singleton). See details for description.
An object of type integer. Must be of length 1 (a singleton). The
default value is 1. See details for description.
An object of type logical. Must be of length 1 (a singleton). The
default value is F. See details for description.
An object of type Individual object.
Documentation for this function can be found in the official SLiM manual: page 732.
Generates a new offspring individual from the given parent by clonal reproduction, queues it for addition to the target subpopulation, and returns it. The new offspring will not be visible as a member of the target subpopulation until the end of the offspring generation tick cycle stage. The subpopulation of parent will be used to locate applicable mutation() and modifyChild() callbacks governing the generation of the offspring individual. Beginning in SLiM 4.1, the count parameter dictates how many offspring will be generated (previously, exactly one offspring was generated). Each offspring is generated independently, based upon the given parameters. The returned vector contains all generated offspring, except those that were rejected by a modifyChild() callback. If all offspring are rejected, object<Individual>(0) is returned, which is a zero-length object vector of class Individual; note that this is a change in behavior from earlier versions, which would return NULL. Beginning in SLiM 4.1, passing T for defer will defer the generation of the genomes of the produced offspring until the end of the reproduction phase. Genome generation can only be deferred if there are no active mutation() callbacks; otherwise, an error will result. Furthermore, when genome generation is deferred the mutations of the genomes of the generated offspring may not be accessed until reproduction is complete (whether from a modifyChild() callback or otherwise). There is little or no advantage to deferring genome generation at this time (it is in place for future expansion); the default of F for defer is generally preferable since it has fewer restrictions. Also beginning in SLiM 4.1, in spatial models the spatial position of the offspring will be inherited (i.e., copied) from parent; more specifically, the x property will be inherited in all spatial models (1D/ 2D/3D), the y property in 2D/3D models, and the z property in 3D models. Properties not inherited will be left uninitialized, as they were prior to SLiM 4.1. The parent's spatial position is probably not desirable in itself; the intention here is to make it easy to model the natal dispersal of all the new offspring for a given tick with a single vectorized call to pointDeviated(). Note that this method is only for use in nonWF models. See addCrossed() for further general notes on the addition of new offspring individuals.
