According to life‐history theory, growth rates are subject to strong directional selection due
to reproductive and survival advantages associated with large adult body size. Yet, growth is …

Conditions fish encounter during embryogenesis and early life history can leave lasting
effects not only on morphology, but also on growth rate, life‐history and behavioural traits …

Water temperature in rivers is a crucial environmental factor with the ability to alter hydro-
ecological as well as socio-economic conditions within a catchment. The development of …

Change in river water temperature has important consequences for the environment and
people. This review provides a new perspective on the topic by evaluating changes in river …

Feed restriction in fish and crustaceans is gaining interest due to its unusual acceleration of
growth after a feed deprivation period. This phenomenon, known as compensatory growth …

Global warming and its associated increase in temperature extremes pose a substantial
challenge on natural systems. Tropical ectotherms, living close to their (upper) critical …

Compensatory growth refers to an animal's ability to grow extremely rapidly after it has
experienced a period of reduced growth. It is also widely held that the growth trajectories of …

Little is known about physiological costs of rapid growth. We successfully generated
compensatory growth to time stress and transient food stress in the damselfly Lestes viridis …

We conducted a 60-day experiment to investigate whether compensatory growth can fully
compensate for reduced growth during food deprivation, and whether food deprivation …

Hatchery fish released for supplementation purposes often have difficulties adapting to wild
conditions and, therefore, perform poorly in the wild. This can, at least partly, be explained …
