exTropicalMoth: Tropical moth development rate at constant temperatures.

In devRate: Quantify the Relationship Between Development Rate and Temperature in Ectotherms

Tropical moth development rate at constant temperatures.

Description

This is a sample dataset to be used in the package examples. In this example, we used data from Crespo-Perez et al. (2011) on the potato tuber moth Tecia solanivora (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), a major crop pest in the central Andes of Ecuador. We used Web Plot Digitizer (Rohatgi 2015) to extract the data on development rate as a function of temperature.
