Body size variation in insects: a macroecological perspective (2010, background): “Journal compilation © 2009 Cambridge Philosophical Society there is any simple relationship between abundance and body size in insects (e.g. Gaston & Lawton, 1988; Gutiérrez & Menéndez, 1997).”
Moving beyond the guild concept: developing a practical functional trait framework for terrestrial beetles (2015, background): “For example, Gibb et al. (2006) found that rare red-listed beetle species had larger wing areas than more common species, perhaps because increased dispersal ability may be necessary to access specialised, patchily distributed food resources (Gutiérrez & Menéndez, 1997).”
Terrestrial insects along elevation gradients: species and community responses to altitude (2005, background): “A good example is the butterfly species in the Picos de Europa of N. Spain, which display a consistent year-to-year pattern in flight activity, with maximum activity concentrated within the warmest summer period but its commencement becoming later at increasingly higher elevations (Gutierrez & Menen”
