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 …

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 …

In ectotherms, lower temperatures in high-latitude environments would theoretically reduce
the annual growth rates of individuals. If slower growth and resultant smaller body size …

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 …

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 …

Tropical organisms colonizing temperate environments face reduced average temperatures
and dramatic thermal fluctuations. Theoretical models postulate that thermal specialization …

To assess long‐term impacts of global warming on species, there is growing interest in
latitudinal intraspecific patterns in thermal adaptation. Yet, while both mean temperatures …

Across a range of taxa, individuals within a species differ in suites of correlated traits. These
trait complexes, known as syndromes, can have dramatic evolutionary consequences as …

In ectotherms, temperature induces similar developmental and evolutionary responses in
body size, with larger individuals occurring or evolving in low temperature environments …

Growth is a fundamental biological process, driven by a multitude of intrinsic (within‐
individual) and extrinsic (environmental) factors, that underpins individual fitness and …
