Analyses and graphical visualizations were performed in R (R Core Team, 2019) unless otherwise stated using the packages, lubridate (Grolemund and Wickham, 2011), rstatix (Kassambara, 2020a), tidyverse (Wickham et al., 2019), dplyr (Wickham et al., 2020), ggbiplot (Vu, 2011), ggplot2 (Wickham, 2016), Rmisc (Hope, 2013), and ggpubr (Kassambara, 2020b). The R function script, ibutton.functions.R (https://github.com/aammd/ibutton.functions), was used to process ibutton temperature and relative humidity data. The analysis code in this study is openly available on GitHub at: https://github.com/jenna-tb-ekwealor/syntrichia_field_UV.
