• Exploring plastic and genetic responses to temperature variation using copper butterflies (2010, background): “Despite much effort over recent years, the temperature– size rule has remained enigmatic (e.g. Blanckenhorn 1997, Partridge & Coyne 1997, Angilletta et al. 2004, Atkinson et al. 2006, Cabanita & Atkinson 2006, Walters & Hassall 2006, Karl & Fischer 2008).”
• Combined effects of food quality and temperature on somatic growth and reproduction of two freshwater cladocerans (2009, background): “Moreover, temperature strongly influences organisms, especially ectothermic organisms, as it affects both their physiology and their life history traits (Angilletta et al. 2004).”
• Is oxygen limitation in warming waters a valid mechanism to explain decreased body sizes in aquatic ectotherms? (2018, methodology): “While the former appears too small to explain TSR 692 (Angilletta et al., 2004), latitudinal- or temperature-dependent changes in predation mortality 693 can have a substantial effect on physiological adaptations, growth rate and body sizes 694 (Reznick et al., 1997; Lankford Jr et al., 2001).”
• Temperature‐by‐nutrient interactions affecting growth rate in an insect ectotherm (2010, background): “…rate is determined by the integration of multiple physiological and behavioral components associated with the acquisition and allocation of resources, including food intake, digestive and assimilation efficiencies, and anabolic processes involved in somatic growth (Angilletta et al., 2002, 2004).”
• Intra‐population variability of life‐history traits and growth during range expansion of the invasive round goby, Neogobius melanostomus (2012, background): “temperature (Angilletta et al. 2004) and flow velocity (Jonsson et al.”
• Broad-scale ecological implications of ectothermy and endothermy in changing environments (2012, background): “Environmental temperature also modifies growth rates and time to maturation (Angilletta et al., 2004).”
• Fast versus slow growing tuna species: age, growth, and implications for population dynamics and fisheries management (2017, background): “…consistent with the dominant patterns of the temperature-size rule in ectotherms, supporting Pauly’s theory of growth in fishes as well as macroecological theories relating metabolic rates with body size and temperature (Pauly 2010; Angilletta et al. 2004; Gillooly et al. 2001; Brown et al. 2004).”
• Body size–climate relationships of European spiders (2010, background): “In fact, it may have multiple causes (Angilletta et al., 2004; Kaspari, 2005).”
