Projected climate change and the changing biogeography of coastal Mediterranean fishes (2013, methodology): “Consequently, fish body-size distribution determines, in combination with species richness, ecosystem functioning (Fisher et al., 2010) and fishery yields (Pinsky et al., 2011).”
Biogeographical region and environmental conditions drive functional traits of estuarine fish assemblages worldwide (2017, background): “Body size (1) Estuaries in warmer regions of the globe are inhabited by species with smaller body size, as proposed for endotherms by Bergmann’s rule, as heat loss is proportional to surface- to- volume ratio, and for ectotherms by the temperature–size rule (Edeline et al., 2013; Fisher et al., 2010”
Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, methodology): “Maximum species richness is shifted toward the southern hemisphere in both the Pacific and Indian Oceans, but not the Atlantic (Fig.”
Functional over-redundancy and high functional vulnerability in global fish faunas on tropical reefs (2014, background): “The gregariousness of fish is an important component of fish behavior that determines the ability of (i) escaping from predation (29, 30) and (ii) impacting local ecological processes, with schooling species inducing potentially massive nutrient cycling and resource depletion (25, 31, 32).”
