fluoSurv

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.
