Estimating and Interpreting Body-Size Growth in Some Anolis Lizards
Abstract
This paper derives several models to describe growth in body size and applies those models to data from Bahamian Anolis lizards. Nonlinear regression equations that give size at the end of a time interval as a function of size at the beginning of that interval and its duration show that a logistic-by-weight model fits data far better than the Von Bertalanffy Model or a logistic-by-length model. Application of this model to 25 data sets comprising 4 species from 7 sites on Bimini and Abaco shows:

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
