A new framework for growth curve fitting based on the von Bertalanffy Growth Function
All organisms grow. Numerous growth functions have been applied to a wide taxonomic
range of organisms, yet some of these models have poor fits to empirical data and lack of …

Cold and isolated ectotherms: drivers of reptilian longevity
Animal lifespan is determined by extrinsic and intrinsic factors causing mortality. According
to the evolutionary theories of senescence, when mortality pressures are low, animals delay …

Ecological specialisation and range size determine intraspecific body size variation in a speciose clade of insect herbivores
The body size of an adult insect is strongly determined by the environmental factors to which
it is exposed during growth and development. Insect species confronted with a high …

How do host plant use and seasonal life cycle relate to insect body size: A case study on European geometrid moths (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)
We used European geometrid moths (> 630 species) as a model group to investigate how
