Energy and interspecific body size patterns of amphibian faunas in Europe and North America: anurans follow Bergmann's rule, urodeles its converse (2007, methodology): “Distribution maps for native amphibian species of western Europe and North America were obtained from the same sources used in a previous investigation of reptile body size gradients in these territories (Olalla-Tárraga et al ., 2006), that is, Gasc et al .”
Subterranean rodents of the genus Ctenomys (Caviomorpha, Ctenomyidae) follow the converse to Bergmann's rule (2007, background): “…pertaining to body-size clines is that of Rosenzweig (1968), who proposes that body size is positively correlated with primary productivity and with such variables as actual evapotranspiration (AET) and potential evapotranspiration (PET) (Olalla-Tárraga et al., 2006; Rodrı́guez et al., 2006).”
Ecogeographical rules: elements of a synthesis (2008, background): “…& Demont, 2004; Meiri et al., 2004a; Blanckenhorn et al., 2006), interspecific (Freckleton et al., 2003; Katti & Price, 2003; Cruz et al., 2005) and assemblage patterns (Roy & Martien, 2001; Blackburn & Hawkins, 2004; Kaspari, 2005; Olalla-Tárraga et al., 2006; Rodrı́guez et al., 2006).”
Climatic niche conservatism and the evolutionary dynamics in species range boundaries: global congruence across mammals and amphibians (2011, methodology): “This threshold was defined on the basis of the relationship between temperature and plant growth (as measured by NDVI), following the procedure described in Olalla-Tárraga et al. (2006).”
Length-weight allometries in lizards (2010, background): “Thus, evenwhen the same questions, in closely related clades (or even when one group is paraphyletic in relation to another), are asked, one has to run separate analyses for different taxa simply because common size measures are unavailable (e.g. Olalla-Tarraga et al., 2006 for lizards and snakes).”
The geography of body size - challenges of the interspecific approach (2007, background): “…grid cells (equivalent to the log of the geometric mean of the raw data); and (4) regressing the averaged body sizes on latitude, temperature and other climatic variables to assess which factors influence size (Blackburn & Hawkins, 2004; Olalla-Tarraga et al. , 2006; Rodríguez et al. , 2006).”
Length–mass allometry in snakes (2013, methodology): “The measure of size in these studies, and in others, was length [Olalla-Tárraga et al. (2006) converted all lengths to masses, but used the same equation for all species].”
Correlates of extinction risk in squamate reptiles: the relative importance of biology, geography, threat and range size (2016, unknown): “255 256 Species trait mapping 257 To investigate the spatial distribution of risk-promoting traits, we used an assemblage-based 258 approach (Olalla-Tarraga et al., 2006) to produce global distribution maps for variables 259 significantly correlated with extinction risk.”
Bergmann's rule and the geography of mammal body size in the Western Hemisphere (2008, background): “A fifth possible explanation emphasizes dispersal differences between large- and small-bodied animals and the colonization of the new habitats created during the retreat of the late Pleistocene ice sheets (e.g. Olalla-Tárraga et al ., 2006; Olalla-Tárraga & Rodríguez, 2007).”
