insectecol: Insect Ecology Data Analysis Toolkit
A collection of analytical tools for insect ecology research,
currently covering age-stage, two-sex life table analysis and
dose-response bioassays. The life table module supports fast batch
processing of multi-group datasets, validates raw 'csv' data, computes
cohort size, mean fecundity, age-stage survival rates, age-specific
survival, age-specific fecundity, life expectancy, and derived
population parameters (net reproductive rate, intrinsic and finite
rates of increase, mean generation time), simultaneously generates
age-stage survival curves for all groups, and exports all tabular
results and plots to 'Excel' in a single run. The bioassay module
estimates lethal concentrations by the traditional and the weighted
(improved) linear regression methods and by probit analysis, with
Abbott correction, 95% confidence intervals and chi-square
goodness-of-fit tests; the lethal proportion can be set freely (e.g.,
25%, 50%, 70% or 90%), so any LC value such as the LC25, LC70 or
LC90 can be computed, not only the LC50. The regression plots and
tables are exported to 'Excel'. Planned extensions include more
insect ecology indicators, such as median lethal temperature/time
(LT50) and thermal constants (effective accumulated temperature).
