  introduction to the practical part of the DEB tele-course 2011

Topics:
- scales of life in space & time
- intra- vs inter-specific comparisons
- primary vs compound parameters
    L_m, [E_m], P_ow, K
- Covariation of parameter values
  intensive & extensive parameters
  functions of parameters
    body weight
    feeding rate
    respiration
    von Bertalanffy growth rate
    reserve residence time
    reproduction rate
    population growth rate
- what parameters can be estimated from what data?
- pseudo vs real data
