Accumulating evidence suggests that the average body size of many organisms is declining
in response to climate warming. This phenomenon has been suggested to represent a …

Temperature and nutrient availability play key roles in controlling the pathways and rates at
which energy and materials move through ecosystems. These factors have also changed …

The ecology of mosquito vectors and malaria parasites affect the incidence, seasonal
transmission and geographical range of malaria. Most malaria models to date assume …

Known for centuries, the geographical pattern of increasing biodiversity from the poles to the
equator is one of the most pervasive features of life on Earth. A longstanding goal of …

Environmental temperature has systematic effects on rates of species interactions, primarily
through its influence on organismal physiology. We present a mechanistic model for the …

Knowledge of feeding rates is the basis to understand interaction strength and subsequently
the stability of ecosystems and biodiversity. Feeding rates, as all biological rates, depend on …

1. Consumer‐resource interactions (ie the functional response) underpin decades of
ecological advancements. However, selecting, fitting and comparing functional response …

Abstract Background and Aim: We tested the hypothesis that elevated temperature
decouples anthocyanins and total soluble solids (TSS) in developing berries and explored …

That species' biological rates including metabolism, growth and feeding scale with
temperature is well established from warming experiments. The interactive influence of …

According to the temperature‐size rule, warming of aquatic ecosystems is generally
predicted to increase individual growth rates but reduce asymptotic body sizes of …
