ewl: Calculate Evaporative Water Loss
In cReedHranac/batwintor: Tool for bat hibernation energetics

Description Usage Arguments Details Author(s) See Also

ewl calculates evaporative waterloss based on species specific parameter.

1 2	ewl(Ta, pct.rh, t, areaPd, fung.params, bat.params, torpid = TRUE, WNS = c(TRUE, FALSE))

`Ta`	ambient temperature (degrees C)
`pct.rh`	precent relative humidity
`t`	time
`areaPd`	area of fungal growth (cm2)
`fung.params`	parameters returned by `fung.params`
`bat.params`	parameters returned by `bat.params`
`torpid`	logical, if the animal is storpid or not
`WNS`	logical, if the animal is infected with Pd or not

The function includes mechanisms to deal with the evaporative water loss (EWL) of both torpid and euthermic individuals, as well as increasing metabolic rates for those infected with Pd.
