The method is derived in a linear setting, and is applied to two examples of previously published linear models for processes involved in photosynthesis.
The optimality of the exponential function in our method can be derived in a similar manner as in [12].
Indeed one finds that this choice satisfies the condition derived in the Methods section, which is necessary to have a reduced CME description under timescale separation conditions.
Moreover, by choosing the common features selected by the two algorithms, 10 critical features are derived in the hybrid method.
Although the exponential stability of nonlinear impulsive neutral integrodifferential equations can be derived in [22], the method used in [22] is only suitable for the deterministic impulses.
The model tracks changes in storage energy (and thus also changes in body mass and energy density29) over time due to feeding, somatic maintenance and movement, and is formally derived in Supplementary Methods.
In the following, we use Eqs. 3 and 4 derived in the Methods to explore and test the predictive capacity of our model.
The formulas for the solution to this model are derived in the Methods.
More accurate (but slightly more complicated) expressions are derived in the Methods.
We note that there are alternative 'truncated Poisson' estimators and one that has been applied was suggested in [ 10] and is also derived in the Methods.
