Description

Shi, P., Ge, F., Sun, Y., and Chen, C. (2011) A simple model for describing the effect of temperature on insect developmental rate. Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology 14(1): 15-20.

Usage

shi_11

Format

A list of eight elements describing the equation.

eq

The equation (formula object).

eqAlt

The equation (string).

name

The name of the equation.

Details

Equation:

rT = cc * (1 - e^{-k1 * (T - T1)}) * (1 - e^{k2 * (T - T2)})

where rT is the development rate, T the temperature, T1 and T2 the conceptual lower and upper developmental thresholds at which development rates equal zero, and cc k1, and k2 constants.
