Discussion

  • males are assumed to differ from females by {p_am} only
  • temperatures are guessed
  • mod_1: males equal to females upto b

Facts

  • Intertidal zone in salt marshes where forming dense aggregations with the marsh cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) (Ref: Wiki)
  • length-weight: Ww in g = 0.0387 * (shell length in cm)^2.810 (Ref: sealifebase)
