Discussion
- This entry is discussed in GergRake2022
- Default d_V=0.16 g/cm^3, but we need a higher value to match juvenile dry weights
- Assumption: 1% soil organic matter content represents 18.62 kJ/g (Lavelle and Spain 2001)
- Assumption: A cocoon contains a single hatchling
Facts
- Aporrectodea caliginosa is hermaphroditic. However, reproduction is obligatory biparental. (Ref: Bart2018)
