  abstract = {1. {T}hermal biologists are interested in generating paired data on development rates and temperatures, but they are in need of automated tools to accurately analyse this data. 2. {F}ed with a database of more than 30 existing development models, the {DEVRATE} package provides tools for plotting and visualizing data, selecting the most appropriate model, and mapping and forecasting ectotherm phenology using temperature time-series data. {M}ost proposed models are for arthropods, mainly insects (e.g. {L}epidoptera, {C}oleoptera, {H}emiptera, {D}iptera, {H}ymenoptera). 3. {T}his paper presents the main functions of the package and provides an example using an empirical dataset. 4. {T}he dev{R}ate package provides investigators with a unique set of tools and a database that allows them to fit development rate models, and to compare arthropod response to temperature.},
