Discussion

  • Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} only
  • tL and tW data are from wild-catch of unknown time since birth
  • Food (periphyton) in experiments of gaia2016 was of high quality and therefore f = 1 was assumed
  • hep-model is not entirely able to represent the sigmoidal growth of Cloeon larvae: late instars larvae do not grow in lenght anymore probably due to decreased feeding
  • At low food, larval development time is prolonged, and size at emergence seems rather conserved across food levels
  • Dry weight over temperature (Swee2018 data) cannot be predicted by the model
  • mod_2: Many new data sets added

Facts

  • The only ovoviviparous ephemeropteran species in Europe; Females lay eggs 10-14 days after mating, and the eggs hatch as soon as they hit the water (Ref: Wiki)
  • Dry weight in mg = 0.001 * (body length in mm)^3.6802 (Ref: Cian1979)
  • Females are 10% longer then males after larval stage 7 (Ref: Cian1979)
  • Weights-at-stages and moulting frequency are unaffected by food quality, but duration is (so is the total number of moults) (Ref: Cian1979)
  • Larval moults are 5% of dry body mass, 7.5% (female) or 11.5% (male) in N2, 13% (f) or 16% (m) in subimago (Ref: Cian1979)
  • Wet/dry weight ratio is about 3 (Ref: Cian1979)
