Discussion

  • mod_2: Feeding is reduced towards just after hatch, imposed k_J = 0.002 1/d
  • Long tp cannot be captured by std model
  • mod_3: v reduced
  • mod_4: Pseudo-data point k is used, rather than k_J; Data set tp and parameter t_R are added, the latter replacing clutch interval t_N. Postnatal T is based on PrinPres1991, see get_T_Aves. See further the revision page, theme puberty
