Our companion (w/ @bmmaitland.bsky.social & @bleavell.bsky.social ) article for hatchR is now out in @ecol-evol.bsky.social in which we extend our methods to all ectotherms. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A Generalizable Tool for Predicting Developmental Phenology for Wild Ecotherms
Custom hatch timing models developed for four North American Lithobates frog species. Models are parameterized from Moore (1939). Panels (A, B) shows differential developmental rates under varying th....
