Discussion
- Body temperature is guessed, and lower just after hatch
- mod_1: The same guess for body temperature is used throughout the data
- mod_1: Change ab from 19 to 18, which is the average value given in AttiThie201818
- mod_1: Change tx from 17 to 14, which is the average value given in AttiThie201818
- mod_1: Change am from 3285 to 4.9*365, as reported for the sibling species Gerygone igata (Gill1982)
- mod_1: Add data for L0 and Li (AttiThie201818), but these are ignored because of inconsistency with weights
- mod_1: Add data for V0, Ww0, Wwx, and Wwim from AttiThie201818
- mod_1: Change Wwb from 1 to 1.137, which is the average value given in AttiThie201818
- mod_1: Change Wwi from 6.5 to 6, which is the average value for females given in AttiThie201818
- mod_1: Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} only
- mod_1: Change Ri from 0.0137 to 2.1/365, which is the average value given in AttiThie201818
- mod_1: Update tW data according to values in the Supplemetary Material from AttiThie201818
- mod_1: Update weights to improve fit
- mod_1: Replace reference entry, from Gill1983 to Gill1982, and add facts
- Curator: In view of max weight larger than that at fledging, body temp is assumed to be constant, but food intake is reduced prior to fledging
- 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
- In New Caledonia, the Fan-tailed Gerygone is the exclusive host of the Shining Bronze-cuckoo, Chalcites lucidus. (Ref: AttiThie2018)
- Fan-tailed Gerygones raise one clutch per year, during a breeding season that lasts six months long (from first nest building to last fledging).Parasitized clutches received one cuckoo egg which replaces a hosts egg (Ref: AttiThie2018)
- In New Zealand, the Shining Bronze-cuckoo parasitizes the related Grey Warbler, G. igata (Ref: Gill1982)
