Startup message

Very minor update

• A startup message is now shown on package load

Minor update

Minor update

• split_rate now accepts multiple input rates, including from convert_rate objects. These should obviously all be rates from the same group. Minor change to output object as a result: $indiv.rates is now a list object with each element a vector of individual rates for the associated group rate in tR. Extract via $indiv.rates[[1]] etc.

Another minor patch

Another minor fix to scale_rate.

• The scale_rate function now properly extracts all rates from respR::convert_rate objects, not just the first one.

Bug Fixes

This patch fixes a major issue in eff_vol. All previous versions of this function returned incorrect results at anything other than neutral buoyancy (multiplication instead of division in the mass & density to volume equation, doh!).

MAJOR FIX: fix for incorrect results returned by eff_vol. If you have used this function previously, please review your code and results.

FIX: spec_density : warning when wet_mass and buoy_mass are equal (leads to infinite density calculation)

New flush_time function

• new flush_time function. This function calculates the time taken to flush a respirometer with new water.
• scale_rate now accepts respR::convert_rate objects and automatically extracts the rate.

New functions: `scale_rate` and `q_ten`

Changes:

• Two new functions scale_rate and q_ten
• Removed use of custom classes from functions which output a single numeric value (i.e. all except split_rate) as it messes with subsequent calculations (i.e. you needed to as.numeric() them)

Three new functions

Three new functions added:

• eff_vol
• spec_density
• wm_to_vol
