Discussion
- males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} and E_Hp only
- temperatures are guessed
- mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females
Facts
- Combines internal fertilization with viparity; fetuses are nourished by secretions of the oviductal epithelium (Ref: sciencedirect)
- N. osgoodi is oviparous with free-living larvae; N. malcolmi has direct development; and N. viviparous and N. torineri are ovoviviparous (lecithotrophic live-bearing toads). (Ref: amphibiaweb)
- Found at 1200-1600 m alt on Mt. Nimba
