Strategy 1 includes thermally insensitive parameters and is error prone. Strategy 2 includes thermally insensitive parameters is not error prone. Strategy 3 includes thermally sensitive parameters and is error prone. Strategy 4 includes thermally sensitive parameters and is not error prone. For strategies 3 and 4, the initial parameters represent values used when the animal’s body temperature fell within its preferred range.
