The effect of temperature and ph on the growth and physiological response of juvenile yellowtail kingfish seriola lalandi in recirculating aquaculture systems (2012, background): “A decreasing ontogenetic shift in optimum temperature is common for most ectotherms (Angilletta and Dunham 2003) and has been described for a range of other marine fish including Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua; Lafrance et al., 2005; Bjornsson et al., 2001), turbot (Scophthalmus maximus; Imsland et…”
Exploring plastic and genetic responses to temperature variation using copper butterflies (2010, background): “…animals was expected: (1) because body size is typically larger in cooler environments (Bergmann size clines extended to ectotherms; Atkinson 1994, Angilletta & Dunham 2003, but see Kingsolver et al. 2007), and (2) because the accelerated development in low-altitude populations should be…”
Why polar gigantism and Palaeozoic gigantism are not equivalent: effects of oxygen and temperature on the body size of ectotherms (2013, background): “Instead, Angilletta & Dunham (2003) suggested that the mass exponents themselves could differ in thermal sensitivity (m and n), which they supported using empirical evidence from six ectotherms (three fish and three crustaceans, all of them aquatic).”
Body size variation in insects: a macroecological perspective (2010, background): “Journal compilation © 2009 Cambridge Philosophical Society rejected owing to their logical problems (Day & Taylor, 1997; Kozłowski et al., 2004; Makarieva, Gorshkov & Li, 2004), and lack of empirical support for their predictions (Angilletta & Dunham, 2003).”
Jordan’s and other ecogeographical rules, and the vertebral number in fishes (2008, background): “Journal compilation ª 2007 Blackwell Publishing Ltd Houston, 2002; Angilletta & Dunham, 2003), but the resolution of this debate is immaterial in the present context.”
Is oxygen limitation in warming waters a valid mechanism to explain decreased body sizes in aquatic ectotherms? (2018, background): “…718 719 It seems that despite each of the intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms described above having 720 some empirical support, 15 years after the Angilletta and Dunham (2003) review we are still 721 reaching the same conclusion that none of these mechanisms appear to be sufficiently 722…”
Size, temperature, and fitness: Three rules (2008, background): “Both adaptive and non-adaptive (mechanistic) hypotheses have been proposed to explain the temperature–size rule (Atkinson, 1994; Angilletta and Dunham, 2003) .”
What determines conformity to Bergmann's rule? (2007, background): “…size on the one hand and latitude, temperature and precipitation on the other is difficult because these environmental factors often covary, and other climatic and ecological factors are key predictors of body size (e.g. Angilletta & Dunham, 2003; Millien et al. , 2006; Yom-Tov & Geffen, 2006).”
Do common frogs (Rana temporaria) follow Bergmann's rule? (2005, neutral): “, 2003; Meiri and Dayan, 2003), although the mechanisms underlying the observed patterns remain contentious (e.g. Atkinson, 1994; Angilletta and Dunham, 2003).”
Size-dependent thermal preferences in a pelagic fish (2010, background): “However, this condition is not generally met (Angilletta and Dunham 2003).”
Mesocosm Experiments as a Tool for Ecological Climate-Change Research (2013, background): “Reduced body size across and within species in response to warming is often cited as an almost universal response to climate change, alongside changes in phenology and species range shifts (Angilletta and Dunham, 2004; Daufresne et al., 2009; Sheridan and Bickford, 2011).”
