Representation of the standard DEB model (eq. 1). Square boxes denote the state variables, while round boxes represent energy sinks. Lines and arrows correspond to the energy fluxes ( J/d, Table 1). The switches represent metabolic thresholds: birth indicates the start of feeding, while puberty signals the start of energy allocation to reproduction once maturation is complete.
