Estimate Insect Survival from Fluorescence Data
Description
Use spectrophotometry measurements performed on insects as a way to infer pathogens
virulence. Insect movements cause fluctuations in fluorescence signal, and functions are
provided to estimate when the insect has died as the moment when variance in autofluorescence
signal drops to zero. The package provides functions to obtain this estimate together with
functions to import spectrophotometry data from a Biotek microplate reader. Details of the method
are given in Parthuisot et al. (2018) .
