Thermal limits of ectotherms have been studied extensively and are believed to be
evolutionarily constrained, leaving ectotherms at risk under future climate change …

Understanding the factors affecting thermal tolerance is crucial for predicting the impact
climate change will have on ectotherms. However, the role developmental plasticity plays in …

1. Rearing temperature may affect juvenile mortality, growth and development rates, adult
mortality rate, and/or population growth rate. Increased juvenile growth rate may affect the …

In insects, temperature strongly influences phenotype, and insects differ in sensitivity to
temperature. The viable temperature range might be narrow or wide, and body size often …

Most ectotherms show an inverse relationship between developmental temperature and
body size, a phenomenon known as the temperature-size rule (TSR). Several competing …

This paper (i) reviews temperature/development rate relationships in plants and
poikilothermic invertebrates,(ii) argues that the relationship is often linear over much of the …

The rate of poikilothermic animal development may be expressed quantitatively only with a
specification of temperature at which this development occurs and on which this value …

Ectotherms mature later at smaller size when growth rates are lowered by reductions in food
quality but they mature later at larger sizes when growth rate is lowered by reductions in …

1. Metabolic sensitivity to environmental temperature change increases in positive
exponential relation with initial acclimated rates of energy expenditure, and is influenced by …

Objective: To test for an effect of isomorphy on development rate under different
experimental thermal environments. Methods: In three different thermal environments, we …
