TABLE 2.

Growth parameters specified by the von Bertalanffy model for each juvenile vervet category group in the between-population comparison, where a is the asymptotic weight, maximum growth rate is given in grams/day (estimated by multiplying the growth rate constant, k, by estimated weight at the inflexion point of the curve) and t₀ is the age (in days) at inflexion in the growth curve (the point at which the acceleration in growth changes from positive to negative)
