Thermal preference metrics – About

Status:

• Shiny app calculator - in progress

• R code - functional

• Click here to download the R script plus an example input and output files

The thermal preference metric calculator calculates three types of metrics (number of taxa, % taxa and % individuals) for seven thermal preference categories:

• Cold stenotherm

• Cold

• Cool

• Cool/warm

• Warm

• Warm stenotherm

• Eurythermal

Thermal preference assignments from Stamp et al. (in progress)
are available but not yet citable. They are based on a large benthic macroinvertebrate dataset from freshwater wadeable streams in Oregon and Washington and the Maximum Weekly Maximum Temperature (MWMT) metric from the NorWeST modeled stream temperature dataset. Samples were collected from June-October. Stamp et al. employed a systematic, data-driven and repeatable approach to assign 532 taxa to the seven thermal preference categories listed above.

More metrics (beyond thermal indicators) are available in the BioMonTools R package. You can request the addition of new metrics to the R package or Shiny app by emailing Erik ([e-mail]) or posting your request on the BioMonTools GitHub discussion page.
