Constant Temperature Equivalent
Under natural conditions, nest temperatures fluctuate daily around a mean value, whereas in captivity they are often held constant. The Constant Temperature Equivalent is designed to bridge the gap between the two by calculating a single temperature value for wild nests that corresponds with the amount of development that would occur in an incubator set to the same temperature. The theory and formulas behind this method were developed by Professor Author Georges and are implemented here as a single function.
