Discussion
- Males are assumed to differ from females by E_Hm and {p_Am} only
- Temperatures are guessed
- mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females
Facts
- Males slightly smaller than females (Ref: Marv2017)
- The larval stage is passed within the egg capsule; reproduction is terrestrial (Ref: amphibiaweb)
