Bergmann’s Rule is the propensity for species-mean body size to decrease with increasing temperature. Temperature-dependent oxygen limitation has been hypothesized to help drive temperature–size relat
One of the most generalized conclusions arising from studies analyzing the ecological variation of energy metabolism in endotherms is the apparent negative correlation between ambient temperature an
Ecophysiological responses - biomass (above and belowground and leaf area), nutrition (soil and leaf), reproduction (flowering time and biomass), leaf area growth, and gas exchange (photosynthesis, st
Dynamic ornamental signals that vary over minutes, hours or weeks can yield continuous information on individual condition (e.g., energy reserves or immune status), and may therefore be under strong s
