ON THE NATURE OF THE EQUATION FOR GROWTH PROCESSES

An analysis of the growth curves of a cladoceran for one adult instar at each of two temperatures is made by comparing the apparent gains or losses in time when the animals are transferred from one of these temperatures to the other during the course of the developmental period. Since the curves for...

Sumario:An analysis of the growth curves of a cladoceran for one adult instar at each of two temperatures is made by comparing the apparent gains or losses in time when the animals are transferred from one of these temperatures to the other during the course of the developmental period. Since the curves for the two temperatures when brought together at their end-point do not coincide, the equation used to describe growth must have at least two velocity constants unequally affected by changes in temperature.
