Genetic and environmental effects on the scaling of metabolic rate with body size
EIF Fossen, C Pelabon… - Journal of Experimental …, 2019 - journals.biologists.com
Metabolic rate (MR) often scales with body mass (BM) following a power function of the form
MR= a BM b, where log (a) is the allometric intercept and b is the allometric exponent (ie …

[HTML][HTML] Quantitative mismatch between empirical temperature-size rule slopes and predictions based on oxygen limitation
In ectotherms, adult body size commonly declines with increasing environmental
temperature, a pattern known as the temperature-size rule. One influential hypothesis …

Acclimation capacity and rate change through life in the zooplankton Daphnia
When a change in the environment occurs, organisms can maintain an optimal phenotypic
state via plastic, reversible changes to their phenotypes. These adjustments, when occurring …

The important choice of reference environment in microevolutionary climate response predictions
R Ergon - Ecology and evolution, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
It is well documented that individuals of wild populations can adjust to climate change by
means of phenotypic plasticity, but few reports on adaptation by means of genetically based …

Measuring phenotypes in fluctuating environments
Despite considerable theoretical interest in how the evolution of phenotypic plasticity should
be shaped by environmental variability and stochasticity, how individuals actually respond to …

Genetic Variation in Metabolic Rate and Correlations with Other Energy Budget Components and Life History in Daphnia magna
Much is known about the genetic variance in certain components of metabolism, most
notably resting and maximum metabolic rate. This is in stark contrast to the lack of …

[HTML][HTML] Does Long-Term Selection for Development Time Result in Canalization: A Test Using Drosophila melanogaster
Canalization denotes the robustness of a trait against genetic or environmental perturbation.
Plasticity, in contrast, indicates the environmental sensitivity of a trait. Stabilizing selection is …

The capacity for adaptation to climate warming in an annual plant (Brassica rapa)
The persistence of a declining population in the face of environmental change may depend
on how fast natural selection restores fitness, a process called “evolutionary rescue”. In turn …

Do genetic differences in growth thermal reaction norms maintain genetic variation in timing of diapause induction?
An optimal timing for diapause induction through the sexual production of dormant
propagules is expected in organisms with temporary populations. Yet, empirical studies …
