Tuta absoluta phenology model in ILCYM

The Insect Life Cycle Modeling software (ILCYM) assists in the development of phenology models. It also provides analytical tools for studying pest population ecology. The software consists of three modules. The "model builder" facilitates the development of insect phenology models based on experimental temperature-dependent life-table data of a specific pest. The ‘Validation and simulation module’ provides tools for validating the developed phenology model using insect life-tables established at fluctuating temperature conditions. It also provides tools for deterministic and stochastic simulations.
