When comparing somatic growth thermal performance curves (TPCs), higher somatic growth
across experimental temperatures is often observed for populations originating from colder …

Species may cope with warming through both rapid evolutionary and plastic responses.
While thermal performance curves (TPCs), reflecting thermal plasticity, are considered …

Question: Associations of body size and of body temperature with fitness have complex
relationships for ectotherms, but three general patterns are known. Bigger is better: Larger …

Ectotherms tend to grow faster, but reach a smaller size when reared under warmer
conditions. This temperature‐size rule (TSR) is a widespread phenomenon. Despite the …

Raising global temperatures are predicted to have strong consequences for ectotherms, as
metabolic rates depend directly on external temperatures. To understand consequences for …

Theoretical models on the evolution of phenotypic plasticity predict a zone of canalization
where reaction norms cross, and genetic variation is minimized in the environment a …

Most ectotherms follow the temperature‐size rule (TSR): in cold environments individuals
grow slowly but reach a large asymptotic length. Intraspecific competition can induce plastic …

Rising temperatures associated with global climatic change threaten the persistence of
species. Determining how species adapt to environmental change is paramount. Much work …

Temperature variation affects virtually every aspect of ectotherms' ecological performance,
such as their foraging rate, reproduction, and survival. Although these changes influence …

Lately, there has been interest in using the intrinsic growth rate () to predict the effects of
climate warming on ectotherm population viability. However, because is calculated using the …
