Table 1. The 14 primary parameters of the std-DEB model in a time-length-energy frame [4].
The values are considered typical values among species at 20°C with maximum structural length for a dimensionless zoom factor z and cm. Structural length is the cubic root of structural volume, which, together with reserve, contributes to body mass. The Gompertz stress coefficient is almost zero for ectotherms and around 0.1 for endotherms, while the Weibull aging acceleration varies greatly between species.
