v 0.02 0.008633 cm/d energy conductance
kap 0.8 0.9594 - allocation fraction to soma

Discussion

  • We assume kap_R 0.95/2 for consistency with how all hermaphrodites are treated in the collection

Facts

  • Branchiura_sowerbyi is hermaphroditic. However, two worms are still required for reproduction. (Ref: Wiki)
