Table 4.

DEB parameter set based on body-size scaling relationships, using the typical parameter values of a generalized animal as pseudo-data. Temperature-dependent DEB parameters were converted to a species-specific reference temperature Tref for comparison with the estimates in table 3, using the species-specific Arrhenius temperature TA from table 2. δV is the fraction of body weight that is structure.
