Non-linear growth models for bullfrog tadpoles

Abstract: Describing animal growth rate using non-linear models allows a detailed evaluation of growth behavior. Four non-linear models were used to fit weight gain and total length data of bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) tadpoles, as follows: Gompertz, Y = A exp (-exp (-b (t-T))); Von Bertalanffy, Y = A (1 -K exp (-B t)) 3 ; Logistic, Y = A (1+ K exp (-B t)) -1 and Brody, Y=A (1 -K exp (-B t)). We used 3,240 tadpoles, with average initial weight 0.044 g and average total length 12.79 mm, stage 25 Gosner. The measure… Show more

“…Diversos trabalhos utilizaram modelos não lineares (Mazzini et al, 2005;Costa et al, 2009;Gomiero et al, 2009;McManus et al, 2010;Souza et al, 2010;Gonçalves et al, 2011;Mazucheli et al, 2011;Silva et al, 2011;Mansano et al, 2012) para a modelagem do crescimento animal, e de plantas e de frutos (Pires & Calegario, 2007;Maia et al, 2009;Franco et al, 2010;Prado et al, 2013;Fernandes et al, 2014).…”

“…Among the sigmoidal model the following ones must be highlighted: Gompertz, Logistic, Richards, Morgan-Mercer-Flodin and Weibull (Ratkowsky, 1983;Gonçalves et al, 2011;Mansano, Stefani, Pereira, & Macente, 2012).…”

“…The most commonly used adjustment quality evaluators are determination coefficient (R 2 ) [46,47], adjusted coefficient of determination (R 2 aj.) [48], the mean squared error (MSE) [46,47]; value of the Akaike criterion (AIC) [47,48], value of the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) [47,48]; convergence percentage (C%) [47,48], the number of iterations (NI) [44,45,46]; mean absolute deviation of residues (MADR) [49][50][51], dispersion of the waste estimated by the models and the distribution of studentized waste [50].…”
