    • The four-parameter Unified Richards model has been applied to the growth of different animal taxa. Traditionally researchers of animal growth have favoured three-parameter models such as the logistic, Gompertz, and von Bertalanffy models. However, the growth-rate parameters of the traditional versions of these models are incomparable, and model forms returning starting points for the curves are not available. Therefore, we have reviewed and developed the family of Unified growth models (U… CONTINUE READING
