Discussion
- Males are assumed to differ from femals by {p_Am} only
- The contribution of nitrogen waste in excreted energy is assumed to be small
- mod_1: v is reduced
- mod_2: Pseudo-data point k is used, rather than k_J; Data set tp and parameter t_R are added, the latter replacing clutch interval t_N. Postnatal T is based on PrinPres1991, see get_T_Aves. See further the revision page, theme puberty
Facts
- Breeds near small ponds, but food (fish) brought by parents comes from big lakes or coast upto 20 km away; fed till fledging (Ref: RizzSchm2015)
