v2 v3 1 1 == 6.2 Edit groups == 2 The first task in building an Ecopath model is to define the model ’s functional groups (called Groups or Boxes). Groups are species or collections of species that share similar population dynamics and ecological function. See [wiki:EwEugDefiningTheSystem Defining the system] for more on how to define groups.2 The first task in building an Ecopath model is to define the model's functional groups (called Groups or Boxes).

See [wiki:EwEugDefiningTheSystem Defining the system] for more on how to define groups. 3 3 4 4 To add and edit functional groups to an Ecopath model, choose the ''Edit groups...'' option on the [wiki:EwEugEcopathMenu Ecopath menu] on the ''Menu bar''. This will open a form where you can add, delete, name and sort the functional groups in your model. … … 10 10 '''Add/insert groups''' 11 11 12 Add groups using the'' Insert'' button. In a brand new model, groups will be inserted above the detritus group. In an existing model, select the row where you would like a new group inserted and click ''Insert''. A new group will be added above the selected row. If no row is selected, new groups will be added above the first row. Note that when you add a new group, its status in the ''Status'' column will be given as “To create”. Clicking the ''OK'' button closes the ''Edit groups'' form and implements the group insertion.12 Add groups using the'' Insert'' button.

If you have multi-stanza groups in your model (see section below), each stanza should have a unique group name (e.g., Small juvenile cod; Large juvenile cod; Adult cod). The name of the multi-stanza group as a whole (e.g., Cod) is entered under ''Multi-stanza group name''. See section on multi-stanza groups below for more detail on defining multi-stanza groups. … … 34 34 '''Delete groups''' 35 35 36 Groups can be deleted from the model using the ''Delete ''button. Models selected for deletion will be marked “To delete”in the ''Status'' column.

Once you have created a multi-stanza group name, it is added to a pull-down menu in the ''Multi-stanza group name'' column. 51 51 52 Enter the __start__-age of each stanza in months in the ''Stanza age (in months)'' column. Note that your youngest stanza must have a start-age of zero months. If you do not have an age-zero stanza, Ecopath will set the youngest stanza ’s start age to zero (a message box will inform you of this).52 Enter the __start__-age of each stanza in months in the ''Stanza age (in months)'' column. Note that your youngest stanza must have a start-age of zero months. If you do not have an age-zero stanza, Ecopath will set the youngest stanza's start age to zero (a message box will inform you of this). 53 53 54 54 IMPORTANT. After defining a multi-stanza group(s), you must set the values of additional parameters for the group(s). See [[Edit multi stanza groups.htm|Edit multi-stanza groups]] for details.
