Thermal biologists are interested in generating paired data on development rates and
temperatures, but they are in need of automated tools to accurately analyse this data. 2. Fed …

Two values of thermal requirements, the lower developmental threshold (LDT), that is, the
temperature at which development ceases, and the sum of effective temperatures, that is …

Among environmental factors, temperature has a direct and crucial influence on the key life
processes of survival, development, reproduction, and movement of poikilothermic animals …

We proposed two improvements to the Logan model of temperature-dependent
development. We first eliminated a redundant parameter (modification 1) then incorporated …

Two novel and simple mathematical models of arthropod temperature-dependent
development are proposed. These models are easy to use and have 3 (equation 1) and 4 …

Temperature-dependent development influences production rates of arthropods, including
crustaceans important to fisheries and agricultural pests. Numerous candidate equation …

The study of insect responses to temperature has a long tradition in science, starting from
Réaumur's work on caterpillars in the 18th century. In 1932, Ernst Janisch wrote:'The …

Temperature drives development in insects and other ectotherms because their metabolic
rate and growth depends directly on thermal conditions. However, relative durations of …

Temperature greatly affects the developmental duration of insects at their different stages,
and many mathematical models exist for describing their temperature-dependent …

The developmental times of poikilotherms at different stages are significantly affected by
temperature. Most mathematical models describing the temperature-dependent …
