# Level 0 function that returns the number of individuals of a caste in a colony Returns the number of individuals of a caste in a colony ```r nCaste(x, caste = "all", simParamBee = NULL) nQueens(x, simParamBee = NULL) nFathers(x, simParamBee = NULL) nWorkers(x, simParamBee = NULL) nDrones(x, simParamBee = NULL) nVirginQueens(x, simParamBee = NULL) ``` ## Arguments - `x`: `Colony-class` or `MultiColony-class` - `caste`: character, "queen", "fathers", "workers", "drones", "virginQueens", or "all" - `simParamBee`: `SimParamBee`, global simulation parameters ## Returns when `x` is `Colony-class` return is integer for `caste != "all"` or list for `caste == "all"` with nodes named by caste; when `x` is `MultiColony-class` return is named integer for `caste != "all"` or named list of lists for `caste == "all"` ## Functions * `nQueens()`: Number of queens in a colony * `nFathers()`: Number of fathers in a colony * `nWorkers()`: Number of workers in a colony * `nDrones()`: Number of drones in a colony * `nVirginQueens()`: Number of virgin queens in a colony ## Examples ```r founderGenomes <- quickHaplo(nInd = 8, nChr = 1, segSites = 100) SP <- SimParamBee$new(founderGenomes) basePop <- createVirginQueens(founderGenomes) drones <- createDrones(x = basePop[1], nInd = 1000) droneGroups <- pullDroneGroupsFromDCA(drones, n = 10, nDrones = nFathersPoisson) # Create a Colony and a MultiColony class colony <- createColony(x = basePop[2]) colony <- cross(colony, drones = droneGroups[[1]]) colony <- buildUp(x = colony, nWorkers = 100, nDrones = 10) colony <- addVirginQueens(x = colony, nInd = 3) apiary <- createMultiColony(basePop[3:4], n = 2) apiary <- cross(apiary, drones = droneGroups[c(2, 3)]) apiary <- buildUp(x = apiary, nWorkers = 100, nDrones = 10) apiary <- addVirginQueens(x = apiary, nInd = 3) # Check caste members nCaste(colony, caste = "queen") nCaste(colony, caste = "fathers") nCaste(colony, caste = "virginQueens") nCaste(colony, caste = "workers") nCaste(colony, caste = "drones") nCaste(colony, caste = "all") nCaste(apiary, caste = "queen") nCaste(apiary, caste = "fathers") nCaste(apiary, caste = "virginQueens") nCaste(apiary, caste = "workers") nCaste(apiary, caste = "drones") nCaste(apiary, caste = "all") # Check number of queens nQueens(colony) nQueens(apiary) apiary <- removeQueen(apiary) nQueens(apiary) # Check number of fathers nFathers(colony) nFathers(apiary) # Check number of workers nWorkers(colony) nWorkers(apiary) # Check number of drones nDrones(colony) nDrones(apiary) # Check number of virgin queens nVirginQueens(colony) nVirginQueens(apiary) ``` ## See Also `nQueens`, `nFathers`, `nVirginQueens`, `nWorkers`, and `nDrones`
