In cReedHranac/batwintor: Tool for bat hibernation energetics

Description

A dataset containing information on euthermic, and torpid metabolic rates, laong with other parameters used throughout this package for Myotis lucifigus (little brown bat).

Usage

mylu.params

Format

a dataset containg 24 measurements for 1 species

RMR

Resting metabolic rate in volume O2 mL/h/g

TMRmin

minimum metabolic rate during torpor in volume O2 mL/h/g

Teu

euthermic temperature in degrees C

Tlc

lower critical temperature in degrees C

Ttormin

Temperature at which TMRmin is achieved in degrees C

Ceu

conductance during euthermic temperatures mLO2/g/C

Ct

conductance during torpor mLO2/g/C

S

Constant, specific heat of tissue mLO2/g/C

ttormax

maximal length of time for a bout of torpor in hours

teu

time spent euthermic during a bout of torpor in hours

mass

animal mass in grams

WR

warming rate from torpor to euthermic temperature in degrees C/ hour

CR

cooling rate from euthermic temperature to torpor in degrees C/ hour

rEWL

rate of evaporative water loss (mg/h/dWVP/cm2)

mrPd

metabolic rate increase due to infection

aPd

increase of total evaporative water loss due to fungal growth

rPd

area specific rate of evaporative water loss due to infection

pMass

precent of body mass selected to trigger evaporative water loss arrousals

pMass.i

precent of body mass selected to trigger evaporative water loss arrousals within infected animals

pFly

proportion time of euthermic arrousals spent flying

pFat

proportion of body mass that is fat

pLean

proportion of body mass that is lean mass

Details

Within this data set, and generally through out the package T will represent a temperature value, while t will represent a time value.

Naming of variables is largely drawn from the "Physiological Ecology and Energetics of Bats" by Speakman and Thomas contained within Bat Ecology.
