+# WildlifeWatchingIBM
+
+The scripts in this repository contain the code to reproduce the individual-based model in the manuscript "Tourists’ specialisation is crucial to the sustainability of wildlife tourism destinations and adaptive governance is necessary to avoid failure of the wildlife tourism commons".
+
+The files IBMfunctions.R and IBMfunctionsS3.R contain the functions used in the model for scenarios 1 and 2 and for scenarios 3 and 4 respectively. The files IBMScenario*.R contain the code to run the simulations.
+
+The model was implemented in R version 3.5.0 (R Core Team, 2018) using packages dplyr version 0.7.4 (Wickham, Francois, Henry, & Müller, 2017), RGeode version 0.1.0 (Rimella, 2017). Simulation runs were distributed for parallel computing using doParallel version 1.0.11 (Microsoft Corporation & Weston, 2017a) and foreach version 1.4.4 (Microsoft Corporation & Weston, 2017b) on a cluster with Bio-Linux OS (Kernal version (uname -r) = "3.13.0-128-generic" VERSION="14.04.5 LTS, Trusty Tahr"). 
+
+Finally, the file Visualisations.R contains the code to manipulate the data and produce the figures in the manuscript.
