The devRate package allows quantifying the relationship between development rate and temperature in ectotherm organisms, and model species phenology using an individual-based approach.
You can use the package:
to get development rate curves as a function of temperature for a specific organism (hundred of examples from the literature are included in the package);
to know which equations exists and which are most used in the literature; and
to relate development rate with temperature from your empirical data, using the equations from the package database.
to make phenology simulations using temperature time series and thermal performance curves.
# from CRAN
install.packages("devRate")
# Or the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("frareb/devRate")
The devRate package provides four categories of functions:
functions to find development rate information about a specific organism (Order, Family, Genus, species)
functions to relate development rate and temperature, and
functions to plot your empirical datasets and the associated fitted model, and/or to plot development curves from the literature.
functions to perform simulations from models and temperature time series.
