The lost generation hypothesis: could climate change drive ectotherms into a developmental trap ? (2015, background): “…seasonal environments have received much attention and stimulated the construction of several life history models of optimal growth and development (Gotthard 2008), but the potential of maladaptive temporal responses should not be ignored under altered organism–environment interactions under…”
Quantifying predation on folivorous insect larvae: the perspective of life‐history evolution (2011, background): “Indeed, it appears likely that, in most insects, the optimum of adult size is primarily determined by the costs of attaining large size, rather than the costs of being a large adult (Blanckenhorn, 2000; Gotthard, 2008).”
