Detailed Description

Removes all adults from the patches and randomly moves the offspring to the adults age class.

Patch regulation is performed at the same time, leaving the patch at carrying capacity (if enough offspring individuals were present). This is the only LCE that actually removes the adults from the patches. Also checks whether the patch is filled and sets the extinction flag accordingly.
