Inter- and intrapopulation variation in thermal reaction norms for growth rate : Evolution of
latitudinal compensation in ectotherms with a genetic constraint | CiNii Research CiNii 国立 …

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 …

Although the size of an organism is influenced by many features of its environment, the
relationship between temperature and body size has captivated generations of biologists …

Body temperature influences the performance and fitness of ectotherms. How thermal
sensitivity responds to selection for resistance to high temperature is broadly relevant in …

Ectothermic animals exhibit two distinct kinds of plasticity in response to temperature:
Thermal performance curves (TPCs), in which an individual's performance (eg, growth rate) …

The widely held of ectotherms raise slower but matured at a larger body size in the colder
atmospheres. This trend has baffled biologists since typical theories of the life-history …

Thermal limits of viable ectotherm development are threshold‐like and near‐symmetrical
around the temperature of optimal performance and usually well within the thermal tolerance …

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 …

Thermal tolerance is an important factor influencing the distribution of ectotherms, but we still
have limited understanding of the ability of species to evolve different thermal limits. Recent …

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 …
