Temperature‐by‐nutrient interactions affecting growth rate in an insect ectotherm (2010, background): “…body size (measured as fresh pupal day mass) did not differ by temperature, which was rather unexpected because it did not conform to the general pattern of small body size observed from the individuals raised at higher temperatures (the temperaturesize rule in ectotherms; Kingsolver & Huey, 2008).”
Mountain Pine Beetle Voltinism and Life History Characteristics across Latitudinal and Elevational Gradients in the Western United States (2014, background): “A main driver of adult emergence timing is development rate, a key fitness trait that results from temperature-dependent processes that can also influence adult size and fecundity (Fox and Czesak 2000, Kingsolver and Huey 2008).”
Representing the acquisition and use of energy by individuals in agent‐based models of animal populations (2013, background): “It is known that many ectotherms emerge smaller at higher temperatures [the temperature–size rule (Atkinson 1994)]; though, the adaptive reasons for this are not well understood (Atkinson & Sibly 1997; Kingsolver & Huey 2008).”
The significance of the sub-Antarctic Kerguelen Islands for the assessment of the vulnerability of native communities to climate change, alien insect invasions and plant viruses (2011, background): “While body mass often varies along climatic gradients in a large number of insect orders (see the temperaturesize rule, Atkinson 1994; Kingsolver and Huey 2008), in C.”
Shoulder Height, Body Mass, and Shape of Proboscideans (2015, background): “Body size has an important impact on the physiology, morphology, diet, metabolic rate, gestation time, home range size, and fitness of all mammals’ (Damuth and MacFadden 1990; McNab 1990; Roth 1990; Christiansen 2004; Kingsolver and Huey 2008).”
Nesting habitat of ground‐nesting bees: a review (2020, background): “…to translate into higher rates of population increase, high temperatures can also be associated with smaller adult body size and higher rates of mortality in ectotherms, such that the fitness consequences of nesting in warm microenvironments can be complex (Kingsolver & Huey, 2008; Forrest, 2017).”
Late bloomers and baby boomers: ecological drivers of longevity in squamates and the tuatara (2015, background): “Ectotherm development and body size are strongly influenced by temperature (‘the temperature-size rule’; e.g. Kingsolver & Huey, 2008).”
Experimental warming in the field delays phenology and reduces body mass, fat content and survival: Implications for the persistence of a pollinator under climate change (2018, background): “Within a given population, smaller insects generally have lower reproductive fitness (Kingsolver & Huey, 2008), and laboratory studies of other Osmia spp. show that adult bees with less mass have less fat stores, shorter life spans and lower adult vigour (all of which are approximate measures of…”
