MovingIncubation: Simulate incubation of a nest with the beginning of incubation varying

Description

Simulate incubation of a nest with the beginning varying day by day Temperatures must be in a data.frame with one column (Time) being the time and the second the temperatures (Temperature). A third columns can indicate the temperature at the end of incubation (Temperature.end.incubation). Do not use FormatNests() for this dataframe.

Usage

MovingIncubation(NestsResult = NULL, temperatures.df = stop("A data.frame with timeseries of temperatures must be provided"), average.incubation.duration = 60 * 1440, skip = 1, parameters = NULL, fixed.parameters = NULL, SE = NULL, derivate = NULL, test = NULL, M0 = NULL, TSP.borders = c(21, 26), embryo.stages = "Caretta caretta.SCL", SexualisationTRN = NULL, replicate.CI = 1, progress = TRUE)

Arguments

NestsResult

A result file generated by searchR

temperatures.df

A data.frame with 2 or 3 columns: Times, Temperatures and Temperatures.end.incubation (facultative)

average.incubation.duration

The average time to complete incubation

skip

Number of data to skip between two runs

parameters

A set of parameters if result is not provided.

fixed.parameters

Another set of parameters if result is not provided.

SE

Standard error for each parameter if not present in result is not provided (not used still)

derivate

Function used to fit embryo growth: dydt.Gompertz, dydt.exponential or dydt.linear

test

Mean and SD of size of hatchlings as a vector ie test=c(Mean=xx, SD=yy)

M0

Measure of hatchling size proxi at laying date

TSP.borders

The limits of TSP

embryo.stages

The embryo stages. At least TSP.borders stages must be provided to estimate TSP length

SexualisationTRN

A set of parameters used to model thermal reaction norm during TSP

replicate.CI

Number of randomizations to estimate CI

progress

If TRUE, progression bar is shown (desactivate for sweave or knitr)

Value

A dataframe with informations about thermosensitive period length and incubation length day by day of incubation

Details

MovingIncubation simulate incubation of a nest with the beginning varying day by day
