Discussion

  • Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} and E_Hp only
  • Weight at weaning ignored because of inconsistency with tW data
  • mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females

Facts

  • The implantation can be delayed and extend the gestation time up to one year. (Ref: Wiki)
