Discussion
- males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} only
- Temperature of 25C based on modelling using NicheMapR of bearded dragon body temperatures in the wild
- tp was ignorged because of large uncertainty, Wwp because of inconsistency with LWw data
Facts
- Specialized on feeding on the ant Iridomyrmes niger (Ref: PianPian1970)
