</p><h2>Description</h2><p>
The sigmascalculation.m and sigmasmodel.m files are code developed to assess the effect of spatial heterogeneity on insect fitness as implemented in Matlab 7.10.0 r2010a. A grid of temperature data is inputted into sigmascalculation.m and the code calculates spatial heterogeneity for each point on the grid (in this case, the grid is a half degree global grid). The sigmasmodel.m file inputs tave (average temperature), xt (seasonality or sigma_t), and sigmas (spatial heterogeneity or the result from sigmascalculation.m) to calculate physiology metrics ctmax (critical thermal maximum), ctmin (critical thermal minimum), and topt (thermal optimum).

Results of Chi-square tests to determine prey preference by <i>Reishia clavigera</i> on the bivalves <i>Xenostrobus securis</i> (<i>Xs</i>), <i>Mytilopsis sallei</i> (<i>Ms</i>) and <i>Brachidontes variabilis</i> (<i>Bv</i>).

Deterred but not preferred: Predation by native whelk <i>Reishia clavigera</i> on invasive bivalves - Table 4
<p>Results of two-way ANOVA tests to compare the survival of the bivalve species (<i>Xenostrobus securis</i>, <i>Mytilopsis sallei</i> and <i>Brachidontes variabilis</i>) exposed to A) <i>Reishia clavigera</i> at Kwun Tong and Stanley piers, and exposed to natural predators (i.e., open panels and control panels with predator excluded) in B) Kwun Tong pier and C) Stanley pier.</p
Summary of morphological features of the bivalve species <i>Xenostrobus securis</i>, <i>Mytilopsis sallei</i> and <i>Brachidontes variabilis</i> presented as average ratios of maximum shell height (H) and width (W) to length (L), adductor muscle biomass (AB) to total biomass (TB) and average of shell thickness index (STI).
<p>Values in brackets indicate the range of minimum and maximum values while a bolded <i>P</i> value indicate statistically significant difference among the three species in the corresponding parameter (by ANOVA tests).</p
