- Risky mate search and mate preference in the golden orb-web spider (Nephila plumipes) (2007, methodology): “To estimate an index of body condition, we used a residual index (a regression of body weight on linear size) that has recently been proved to perform well and to be biologically relevant (Schulte-Hostedde et al. 2001, 2005).”
- RESTITUTION OF MASS–SIZE RESIDUALS: VALIDATING BODY CONDITION INDICES (2005, methodology): “An individual with a positive residual is considered to be in better condition than an individual with a negative residual (Jakob et al. 1996, Schulte-Hostedde et al. 2001).”
- Small pelagic fish dynamics: A review of mechanisms in the Gulf of Lions (2018, background): “Body condition is also often considered as a good indicator of individual well-being or performance, as it represents the amount of nutrients that can be mobilized for the different vital traits, thus mediating life-history trade-offs (Schulte-Hostedde et al., 2001).”
- Intraspecific variation of testis size and sperm length in the yellow-pine chipmunk (Tamias amoenus): implications for sperm competition and reproductive success (2003, methodology): “This is analogous to using residuals from a regression of body mass on body length as an index of condition and reflects variation in body composition: males in good condition have relatively more muscle mass and fat than males in poor condition (Schulte-Hostedde et al. 2001).”
- Visual health assessment of North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) using photographs (2004, background): “Measurement and (or) estimates of body fat stores, or body condition, have been used as one indicator of health status in both terrestrial and marine mammals and have been associated with reproductive success and survivorship (Young 1976; Lockyer 1986, 1993; Guinet et al. 1998; Schulte-Hostedde et a”
