Pseudo-data at Tref = 20°C
| Data | Generalised animal | Podocnemis unifilis | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| v | 0.02 | 0.05719 | cm/d | energy conductance |
| kap | 0.8 | 0.8491 | - | allocation fraction to soma |

| kap_G | 0.8 | 0.7984 | - | growth efficiency |
| k | 0.3 | 0.2998 | - | maintenance ratio |
Discussion
- Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} and E_Hp only
- In view of low somatic maintenance, pseudodata k_J = 0.002 1/d is replaced by pseudodata k = 0.3
Facts
- If eggs are incubated below 32 C, males hatch, above 32 C females (Ref: arkive)
