Discussion

  • abp model also works well for this species
  • Biological observations show that length at which stage transitions occur does not change much across different levels of food availability for many insect species.
  • The selection of the mainenance ratio k=0.99 as pseudo-data, is based on the implied property of the model that when k=1, stage transitions occur at fixed structural length. This property aligns with observationsin D2
  • First instar nymphs do not eat, they are modeled as non-feeding juvenile instead of embryo. This makes sbp model more general as not all insects have a non-feeding first instar.

Facts

  • During the first instar the nymph does not feed (Ref: PaniMene1989, PaniOliv1998)
