Evidence suggests that the capacity for growth (ie, maximum growth potential) within a
species may vary inversely with the length of the growing season across a latitudinal …

How do organisms adapt to the differences in temperature and length of the growing season
that occur with latitude? Among Atlantic silversides (Menidia menidia) along the east coast …

Growth rate increases with latitude in the Atlantic silverside, Menidia menidia, and the
population differences have a genetic basis. Understanding the evolution of this latitudinal …

In ectotherms, lower mean temperatures and shorter growing seasons at higher latitudes
would be expected to cause a reduction in the annual growth rate of an individual. If slower …

For many ectotherms, the annual cycle is partitioned into 'growing'(summer) and 'non‐
growing'(winter) seasons, and the lengths of these seasons are inversely related across a …

Degree-days (DD) are an increasingly popular method for explaining variation in fish growth
and development. By including a base temperature (To) the DD formula limits calculations to …

Field observations of a variety of fish species at different latitudes suggest that there is an
inverse (countergradient) relationship between growth rate within the first growing season …

Growth, natural mortality, latitude, elevation, average air temperature, and degreedays
exceeding 10° C were summarized for 698 populations of largemouth bass Micropterus …

This paper compares long-term changes in the recruitment and growth of Pacific halibut
Hippoglossus stenolepis with long-term changes in climate and stock size. It appears that …

We examined the relationship between air temperature and growth for geographically
disparate populations of largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides by use of published data in …
