Basically all organisms can be classified as determinate growers if their growth stops or
almost stops at maturation, or indeterminate growers if growth is still intense after maturation …

Many ectotherms show crossing growth trajectories as a plastic response to rearing
temperature. As a result, individuals growing up in cool conditions grow slower, mature later …

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 …

The majority of ectotherms grow slower but mature at a larger body size in colder
environments. This phenomenon has puzzled biologists because classic theories of life …

Questions: Can the decline in ectotherm body size with increasing temperature be explained
using a simple body size optimization model? Does the pattern conform to the rate–size …

By influencing physiological reaction rates'-', body temperature has a significant impact on
an ectotherm's performance (eg its ability to run, feed and interact sociallyI and ultimately on …

In many organisms, individuals in colder environments grow more slowly but are larger as
adults. This widespread pattern is embodied by two well-established rules: Bergmann's rule …

The temperature size rule (TSR) is the tendency for ectotherms to develop faster but mature
at smaller body sizes at higher temperatures. It can be explained by a simple model in which …

The 'temperature‐size rule'(TSR) is a widely observed phenomenon within ectothermic
species: individuals reared at lower temperatures grow more slowly, but are larger as adults …

Developmental rates of ectotherms (y) are often linearly related to temperature (T c in C)
within some biologically relevant range of temperatures as y=(1/S)(T c− T b), where T b is …
