Are lizards feeling the heat? A tale of ecology and evolution under two temperatures (2013, background): “Lower temperatures may be associated with a higher productivity pulse (Huston & Wolverton, 2011), enabling high-latitude species to invest more in a single clutch.”
The global diversity and distribution of lizard clutch sizes (2020, background): “High latitudes are often characterized by a high seasonal peak in environmental productivity (Geist, 1987; Huston & Wolverton, 2011), enabling lizards to produce large clutches.”
Bergmann's rule in mammals: a cross-species interspecific pattern (2013, unknown): “…with larger animals able to withstand seasonal starvation better than smaller animals (Lindstedt and Boyce 1985), or resource availability, with body size following the productivity of the habitat (Rosenzweig 1968, Geist 1987, McNab 2010, Huston and Wolverton 2011), as more likely causes.”
Biogeographical region and environmental conditions drive functional traits of estuarine fish assemblages worldwide (2017, background): “…Alternatively, primary productivity generates variation in body size of fishes between estuaries across the globe (as proposed for marine species by Huston & Wolverton, 2011 on the basis of higher primary productivity supporting higher food availability and larger body sizes) Primary…”
