dRGetMetrics function

Life traits from Thermal Performance Curve

Compute life traits from a Thermal Performance Curve

dRGetMetrics(
  nlsDR,
  prec = 0.1,
  lowTempLim = 0,
  highTempLimit = 60,
  devLimit = 0.01,
  printOut = FALSE
)

Arguments

• nlsDR: The object obtained from the devRateModel function.
• prec: The precision for the temperature (default = 0.1 degree celsius).
• lowTempLim: The minimum temperature for the metrics (default = 0 degree celsius).
• highTempLimit: The maximum temperature for the metrics (default = +60 degree celsius).
• devLimit: The development rate considered as null (default = 0.01).
• printOut: A logical to print the result (default = FALSE).

Returns

A matrix with one column and one row for each metric. The metrics names are the row names.

Examples

   c(10, 0.031, 10, 0.039, 15, 0.047, 15, 0.059, 15.5,
   0.066, 13, 0.072, 16, 0.083, 16, 0.100, 17, 0.100, 20, 0.100, 20,
   0.143, 25, 0.171, 25, 0.200, 30, 0.200, 30, 0.180, 35, 0.001
), ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE)

   eq = taylor_81,
   temp = rawDevEggs[,1],
   devRate = rawDevEggs[,2],
   startValues = list(Rm = 0.05, Tm = 30, To = 5)
