Life history traits associated with body size covary along a latitudinal gradient in a generalist grasshopper.

Oecologia - 1 Feb 2014

Parsons Sheena M A, Joern Anthony

Abstract excerpt

Animal body size often varies systematically along latitudinal gradients, where individuals are either larger or smaller with varying season length. This study examines ecotypic responses by the generalist grasshopper Melanoplus femurrubrum (Orthoptera: Acrididae) in body size and covarying, physiologically based life history traits along a latitudinal gradient with respect to seasonality and energetics. The...
