Calculate daily mortality rates for Aedes in function to the stage considered.
1 2 | mortality_rate(tair = 24, twater = 24, urel = 60, stage = "Eggs",
air_dryness = FALSE)
|
tair |
numeric: Temperature in Celsius Degree of (I) air: for "Adult" stage - (II) for "Diapausant Eggs" the Minimal winter seasonal temperature . |
twater |
numeric: Water Temperature in Celsius degree. |
urel |
numeric: Relative humidity in % ( 0-100). |
stage |
char string: Name of stage ( Diapausant Eggs - Eggs - Larval - Pupae - Adult). Default is "Eggs". |
air_dryness |
logical: if the saturation deficit of air is taken into account as supplementary agent for adult mortality. |
m_rate numeric: daily mortality rate for the stage.
