Ecogeographical rules: elements of a synthesis (2008, unknown): “…in an area, such as their body size (e.g. Cushman et al., 1993; Hawkins, 1995; Hawkins & Lawton, 1995; Blackburn & Gaston, 1996a; Knouft, 2002; Chown & Klok, 2003; Blackburn & Hawkins, 2004; Kaspari, 2005; Olalla-Tárraga et al., 2006; Rodrı́guez et al., 2006), clutch size (e.g. Yom-Tov,…”
The elements of seasonal adaptations in insects (2007, background): “Such characteristics can be selected relatively rapidly (Chown and Klok 2003a).”
Bergmann and Converse Bergmann Latitudinal Clines in Arthropods: Two Ends of a Continuum?1 (2004, background): “Furthermore, systematic latitudinal or altitudinal changes in food availability may affect clines as well (Chown and Klok, 2003).”
Terrestrial insects along elevation gradients: species and community responses to altitude (2005, background): “Support for these explanations comes from trends in body size of several common weevil species over a 1000 m altitudinal range on subantarctic islands (Chown & Klok, 2003).”
Macrophysiology: large‐scale patterns in physiological traits and their ecological implications (2004, background): “1993; Yamahira & Conover 2002), or interactions between the temperature dependence of growth and development, and resource availability (Partridge & French 1996; van der Have & de Jong 1996; Chown & Gaston 1999; Chown & Klok 2003).”
Body size variation in insects: a macroecological perspective (2010, background): “The latter has been demonstrated several times, as has the influence of spatial turnover of higher taxa on the form of the interspecific or assemblage size cline (Hawkins & Lawton, 1995; Chown & Klok, 2003; Brehm & Fiedler, 2004).”
Exploring plastic and genetic responses to temperature variation using copper butterflies (2010, background): “Due to the typically wide range of temperatures experienced in space and time, organisms are expected to show genetic adaptations to such variation in addition to the above plastic responses (e.g. Chown & Klok 2003, Van Doorslaer & Stoks 2005).”
Introduced Bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) in Western Canada: Has Their Ecology Diverged? (2006, background): “The length of the growing season has been shown to be positively correlated with annual growth rates in a diversity of other organisms (Chown and Klok, 2003; Williams and Levine, 2004; Durham et al., 2005).”
