Discussion
- A lot of the data are from ambient temperatures which depend on the season. We use a standard temp of 15 deg C
- I tried to use two shape coeffients (one pre and one post metamorphosis) but this did not improve the fit.
Facts
- Metamorphosed juveniles begin to stay more in the terrestrial component of their habitat at a body length of 70.13 to 78.09 mm. (Ref: SharVais2014)
- Larval period: hatching to the loss of branchia and closure of branchia slit (Ref: VaisShar2015)
