Customize BSO

Description

This page describes the parameters that can be used to customize BSO. The model was developed by \insertCiteJakoby2019;textualbarrks. Look here to find out how to apply the model.

Arguments

dd_onset_start_date	The date, when the degree days start to sum up ('MM-DD').
dd_onset_base	Base temperature to calculate degree days to trigger the onset.
dd_onset_threshold	Degree days that are required before the individuals start regeneration feeding in slot_dia of the maturation stage. When the regeneration feeding has finished, the onset is triggered.
slot_dia	Maturation feeding slot where the individuals start regeneration feeding after diapause.
k	Factor for the calculation of the phloem temperature.
alpha, tlo, tup	Parameters used to calculate the transition probabilities for each stage (except preflight) in the following order: development, maturation feeding, reproduction.
tfly_min, tfly_max, pfly_max, beta	Parameters used to calculate the transition probabilities for the preflight stage.
num_slots	Named vector that defines the number of slots for each stage. The development stage is subdivided into the stages egg, larva and pupa.
psis	Probability that a sister brood will be established.
slot_sis	Maturation feeding slot where the individuals start regeneration feeding before they establish a sister brood.
model_end_date	Date when the model ends (no further development will be modeled).
diapause_first	The day of year when the diapause could start at the earliest.
diapause_last	The day of year when the diapause could start at the latest.
tdia_min	The diapause will be initiated when the average daily temperature falls below that value.

Details

In barrks, model() is used to customize a model. The following code illustrates which parameters are available for BSO and specifies their default values.

model("bso",

      # ==== onset ====

      dd_onset_start_date = '01-01',
      dd_onset_base = 5.124198,
      dd_onset_threshold = 100,
      slot_dia = 6,

      # ==== onset + development ====
