• Test of a Body Condition Index with Amphibians (2012, background): “Assessments of the accuracy of those indices as related to how well they reflect energy stores (fat and protein), certainly the most important issue, have gone unexamined until recently (Ardia, 2005; Schulte-Hostedde et al., 2005; Scott et al., 2007; Peig and Green, 2009).”
• New perspectives for estimating body condition from mass/length data: the scaled mass index as an alternative method (2009, methodology): “…and 2) to show that this index is a more reliable indicator of true condition, using data on the size of energy stores previously presented by Schulte-Hostedde et al. (2005), Ardia (2005) and Weatherhead and Brown (1996) and comparing the scaled mass index with the performance of OLS residuals.”
• The paradigm of body condition: a critical reappraisal of current methods based on mass and length (2010, methodology): “…CI in terrestrial ecology has been the Residual index ‘Ri’, which uses the residuals from an OLS regression ofM against one or more length measurements, usually after log transformation (Jakob,Marshall & Uetz 1996; Schulte-Hostedde, Millar & Hickling 2001; Ardia 2005; Schulte-Hostedde et al. 2005).”
• Warm temperatures lead to early onset of incubation, shorter incubation periods and greater hatching asynchrony in tree swallows Tachycineta bicolor at the extremes of their range (2006, methodology): “We estimated female body condition as the residual body mass from a regression of body mass vs. head-bill length (Ardia 2005).”
