Before revision:   A two-step non-parametric bootstrap was used to assess Z and to investigate the log-linear relationship (slope = 1) between Z and input growth parameters, with implications for previous meta-analyses.
After revision:  Estimates for K and Linf were imprecise, but they formed well-structured pairs along a narrow Phi' isopleth, leading to a high precision for Phi'. A two-step non-parametric bootstrap was used to assess Z and to investigate the log-linear relationship (slope = 1) between Z and input growth parameters, with implications for previous meta-analyses.
