devRateIBMdataBase function

Forecast ectotherm phenology as a function of temperature and development rate models available in the package database

devRateIBMdataBase(
  tempTS,
  timeStepTS,
  eq,
  species,
  lifeStages,
  numInd = 10,
  stocha,
  timeLayEggs = 1
)

Arguments

• tempTS: The temperature time series (a vector).
• timeStepTS: The time step of the temperature time series (a numeric with 1 = one day).
• eq: The name of the equation (e.g., lactin2_95).
• species: The species for the model (e.g., "Sesamia nonagrioides").
• lifeStages: The life stages available for the species and the model.
• numInd: The number of individuals for the simulation (an integer).
• stocha: The standard deviation of a Normal distribution centered on development rate to create stochasticity among individuals (a numeric).
• timeLayEggs: The delay between emergence of adults and the time where females lay eggs in time steps (a numeric).

Returns

A list with three elements: the table of phenology for each individual, the models used (nls objects), and the time series for temperature.

Examples

  species = "Sesamia nonagrioides",
  lifeStages = c("eggs", "larva", "pupa"),
  numInd = 10,
