Discussion
- Some data relates to I. glutinosus, which is treated as energetically identical
- Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} only
- mod_3: change from abj to std model, in view of other caecilians and amphibians
- mod_4: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females
