Bootstrapped coefficients of the von Bertalanffy growth model for female and male ‘observed-age’ turtles

Sex Coefficient Mean estimate (± 95% CI)
Female L inf 157 (3.93)*
K 0.39 (0.07)
t 0 −0.31 (0.54)
Male L inf 128 (11.1)*
K 0.33 (0.17)
t 0 −1.38 (1.53)

Note: Estimates of the mean maximum plastron length (Linf) were significantly higher for females, while estimates of the growth constant (K) and age at length zero (t0) did not differ between the sexes. Asterisks indicate non-overlapping confidence intervals.
