Description

Stinner, R., Gutierrez, A. & Butler, G. (1974) An algorithm for temperature-dependent growth rate simulation. The Canadian Entomologist, 106, 519-524.

Usage

Format

A list of eight elements describing the equation.

eq

The equation (formula object).

eqAlt

The equation (string).

name

The name of the equation.

ref

The equation reference.

refShort

The equation reference shortened.

startVal

The parameters found in the literature with their references.

Details

Equation:

rT = \frac{C}{1 + e^{k1 + k2 * T}}

and

rT = \frac{C}{1 + e^{k1 + k2 * (2 * Topt - T)}}

where rT is the development rate, T the temperature, Topt the optimum temperature, k1 and k2 constants. "[...] the relationship [is] inverted when the temperature is above an optimum [...] T = 2 * Topt - T for T >= Topt." Stinner et al. 1974.
