get_uE0: Get Initial Scaled Reserves

In Echinophoria/DEB_output: Dynamic Energy Budget exploration tools

Description

This function calculates the initial scaled reserves, i.e. the scaled reserves of the egg considering the mother scaled energy reserves and the length at birth

Usage

get_uE0(p, lb, f)

Arguments

p	a list containing all the DEB parameters for the species. Called by the get_DEB_pars function.
lb	scaled length at birth
f	scaled energy reserves for the mother.

Value

uE0	d cm^2, a scalar with the scaled initial reserve of the egg. It is un-scaled by multiplying it for p_Am

Examples

path <- system.file('data', package='DEB.tools')
name <- file.path(path, 'results_Odontaster_validus.mat')
p <- get_DEB_pars(name)
f<-1
ltR <- get_tj(p, f)
U_E0 <- get_uE0(p, ltR$lb, f)   # d.cm^2, initial scaled reserve
Wd_0 <- 1e6 * U_E0 * p$p_Am * p$w_E / p$mu_E   # ug, initial (=egg) dry weight
