Discussion

  • Males are assumed to differ from females by E_Hp only
  • C. a. bisshopi is assumed to differ from C. a. alleganzensis by {p_Am} only

Facts

  • No size difference between males and females (Ref: PeteWilk1983)
  • length-weight: Ww in g = 8.4e-7*(TL in mm)^2.9667, but inconsistent with weights mentioned in text (Ref: PeteWilk1983)
