• What keeps insects small?—Size dependent predation on two species of butterfly larvae (2006, background): “Observations of non-maximised somatic growth rates in animal taxa are common (Case 1978; Calow 1982; Arendt 1997; Gotthard 2001) indicating that there are indeed costs associated with growth and foraging activity that influence the adaptive growth patterns of prey.”
• An austral anuran assemblage in the Neotropics: seasonal occurrence correlated with photoperiod (2008, background): “However, photoperiod is considered the most common cue for seasonal change for ectotherms in temperate environments because it gives relatively noise-free information about the time of the year, whereas variation in temperature is highly non-predictable (Gotthard 2001).”
• Larval instar as a key element of insect growth schedules (2006, background): “The likely reason for submaximal growth rates may lay in various costs, like higher mortality or purely physiological problems for example, which may accompany the fast growth and could be avoided by growing slower than physiologically possible (Abrams et al. 1996, Arendt 1997, Nylin & Gotthard 1998”
• FITNESS EFFECTS FROM EGG TO REPRODUCTION: BRIDGING THE LIFE HISTORY TRANSITION (2005, background): “Additional support for a smaller investment in storage molecules comes from studies showing reduced starvation resistance in animals under a time constraint (reviewed in Gotthard 2001).”
• Temperature, Growth Rate, and Body Size in Ectotherms: Fitting Pieces of a Life-History Puzzle1 (2004, background): “Models designed to explain the evolution of age and size at maturity emphasize tradeoffs that arise from the allocation of energy to competing functions (Kozlowski, 1992; Heino and Kaitala, 1999), but tradeoffs arising from the acquisition of resources for growth have also been considered (Gotthard,”
• Temperature‐by‐nutrient interactions affecting growth rate in an insect ectotherm (2010, background): “…significance of growth rates, it is necessary to understand the extent to which environmentally-induced variations in growth rate translate into evolutionary fitness, and how they are implicated in trade-offs with other fitness compo- nents (Arendt, 1997; Gotthard, 2001; Angilletta et al., 2003).”
