This page describes the parameters that can be used to customize BSO. The model was developed by Jakoby et al. (2019) . Look here to find out how to apply the model.

Arguments

dd_onset_start_date

The date, when the degree days start to sum up ('MM-DD').

dd_onset_base

Base temperature to calculate degree days to trigger the onset.

dd_onset_threshold

Degree days that are required before the individuals start regeneration feeding in slot_dia of the maturation stage. When the regeneration feeding has finished, the onset is triggered.

slot_dia

Maturation feeding slot where the individuals start regeneration feeding after diapause.

k

Factor for the calculation of the phloem temperature.

alpha, tlo, tup

Parameters used to calculate the transition probabilities for each stage (except preflight) in the following order: development, maturation feeding, reproduction.

tfly_min, tfly_max, pfly_max, beta

Parameters used to calculate the transition probabilities for the preflight stage.

num_slots

Named vector that defines the number of slots for each stage. The development stage is subdivided into the stages egg, larva and pupa.

psis

Probability that a sister brood will be established.

slot_sis

Maturation feeding slot where the individuals start regeneration feeding before they establish a sister brood.

model_end_date

Date when the model ends (no further development will be modeled).

diapause_first

The day of year when the diapause could start at the earliest.

diapause_last

The day of year when the diapause could start at the latest.

tdia_min

The diapause will be initiated when the average daily temperature falls below that value.

Details

In barrks, model() is used to customize a model. The following code illustrates which parameters are available for BSO and specifies their default values.
