Mating Duration Hours Lookup
Actual independently observed silkmoth strain/protocol mating duration vs same-method reference. Exact independently matched reference; signed deviations retained. Caller independently verifies strain, stage, protocol and evidence; not disease-free, biological adequacy or process-safety certification.
Description
Silkmoth mating-duration observations need a matched strain and protocol.
Silkmoth mating-duration observations need a matched strain and protocol.1
An exact-key reference comparison retains both the reference hours and a signed observed discrepancy.
When to use Mating Duration Hours Lookup
Use this tool when you need to compare an observation with a matched numeric reference. Prepare independently matched strain, cohort, instar or stage, protocol, and measurement records.
How to use Mating Duration Hours Lookup and understand its results
- Prepare independently matched strain, cohort, instar or stage, protocol, and measurement records.
- Enter callerVerifiedObservedMatingDurationHoursKeys, callerVerifiedObservedMatingDurationHoursValues, queryObservedMatingDurationHoursKey, observedObservedMatingDurationHoursValue, following the field table and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read callerReferenceValue, signedObservedMinusReference. Use the output meanings below to interpret units, signs, flags, and any nested result fields.
- Correct reported input issues and run again. For a successful result, check the stated evidence coverage and assumptions before using it in your review.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| callerVerifiedObservedMatingDurationHoursKeys | Caller verified observed mating duration hours keys | list of string | Required |
| callerVerifiedObservedMatingDurationHoursValues | Caller verified observed mating duration hours values | list of number | Required |
| queryObservedMatingDurationHoursKey | Query observed mating duration hours key | string | Required |
| observedObservedMatingDurationHoursValue | Observed observed mating duration hours value | number | Required |
Provide unique nonblank reference keys, aligned numeric reference values, an exact query key, and an observed numeric value in the same unit and method. Return the matched reference value and observed minus reference. Matching is case-sensitive with no trimming or normalization; unknown keys cause an input error. A negative discrepancy means the observation is below the supplied reference.
reference=values[indexOf(keys,query)]; discrepancy=observed−reference Symbols follow the input and output meanings and the calculation rules above.
All numeric reference values and the observed value must be nonnegative; fractional values are accepted by this implementation.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| callerReferenceValue | Caller reference value | number |
| signedObservedMinusReference | Signed observed minus reference | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
This is a user-supplied catalog comparison, with no embedded complete reference table or live update. You must establish matching units, method, specimen or font identity, and edition independently.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types, and violated calculation rules are input issues. Numeric values must be finite; nonfinite results are rejected. Evidence arrays must be dense, with no missing cells. Numeric observation lists allow at most 10,000 entries, subject to any smaller bounds stated above. String lists allow at most 128 strings of at most 128 characters. Extremely large text is rejected.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For a related review, use Moth Emergence Window Hours Lookup: Moth-emergence hour-window references depend on strain, light cycle, and cohort. This lookup compares your measured window value with a verified matched reference. For a complementary step, use DFL Eggs Standard Lookup: A disease-free-laying egg-count reference needs a verified strain, grainage, and DFL definition. This lookup compares supplied numbers; the label itself does not prove disease-free status.
