... was positively correlated with adult mortality but not nest predation rates among 43 songbird species on three continents. Nest predation, but not adult mortality, explained additional variation in growth rates beyond metabolism. Our results suggest that metabolism may not be the mechanism underlying...

In contrast to the predictions of the OCLTT hypothesis, development under hypoxia did not significantly reduce growth rate or running...

.... The temperature effects on growth rate and duration were exactly as expected because the strong and positive temperature dependency of biological rates translates into a high growth rate and a short growth duration at high temperatures within a population's thermal limits (e.g. Angilletta, 2009). In addition...

... weaning, remained smaller at 10 weeks of age than those reared in smaller litters. Females from enlarged litters were consistently smaller throughout post-weaning development and showed no increase in growth rate compared with females from reduced litters. In enlarged litters, protein thiol concentration...

... and a faster size-specific growth rate, without a change in the developmental rate. Both lines had comparable food consumption but the selected snails grew more efficiently and had lower metabolism early in ontogeny. Attainment of lower metabolism was accompanied by decreased shell production, indicating...

... of the eastern fence lizard (Sceloporus undulatus), with emphasis on the likely tradeoffs that constrain the evolution of growth rates along geographic clines. Recently, Oufiero and Angilletta discovered that S. undulatus has evolved countergradient variation at least twice along latitudinal clines(Oufiero...

...Thomas M. Clark; Benjamin J. Flis; Susanna K. Remold SUMMARY The effects of salinity on growth and development of the euryhaline Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus and the freshwater Aedes aegypti are compared. O. taeniorhynchus grow larger, and have greater intrinsic growth rates, than A. aegypti...
