Organism Surface Area from Length
Description
This function estimates surface area (m2) from length (m) by approximating the animal's body as a rotational ellipsoid with half the body length as the semi-major axis.
Usage

Arguments
l
numeric length (m).
Details
Following \insertCiteSamietz2005;textualTrenchR and \insertCiteLactin1998;textualTrenchR.
Value
numeric surface area (m2).
