The article "The Respiration in Air and in Water of the Limpets Patella caerulea and Patella lusitanica" (Comp. Biochemistry and Physiology, 1975: 407-411) proposed a simple power model for the relationship between respiration rate y and temperature x for P. caerulea in air. However, a plot of ln(y) versus x exhibits a curved pattern. Fit the quadratic power model Y = aebx+ γx2.e to the accompanying data.
