alphaopics v2.0.0

A major update expanding species-specific light quantification tools for ecological and photobiological research.

Expanded Species Database

  • New animal species added
  • Extended photopigment sensitivity datasets
  • Prereceptoral lens transmission raw datasets now included
  • Photopigment sensitivity raw datasets bundled within the package

Enhanced alphaopic() Function

The alphaopic() function now returns a comprehensive set of light exposure metrics:

  • Equivalent Daylight Illuminance (lux)
  • Equivalent Daylight Luminance (cd/m²)
  • A-opic Irradiance (W/m²)
  • A-opic Radiance (W/m²·sr⁻¹)
  • Photon Irradiance (log10 photons·cm⁻²·s⁻¹)
  • Photon Radiance (log10 photons·cm⁻²·s⁻¹·sr⁻¹)

This enables full spectral quantification across luminous, radiant, and photon-based systems.

New vlambda() Function

Calculates photopic illuminance or luminance

Implements the standard V(λ) photopic sensitivity function

Suitable for classical lighting and visual assessment applications

New blambda() Spectral Weighting Function

Implements biological spectral weighting functions for ecological light pollution research.

Calculates biological light detection metrics for:

  • Animals
  • Plants and microorganisms
  • All organisms

Supports luminous, radiant, and photon-based outputs.

Improvements & Fixes

  • aopicspecies() function corrected and stabilized
  • Improved prereceptoral filtering workflow
  • Refined action spectrum generation
  • Documentation and help pages improved
  • Increased data transparency
