Why get big in the cold? Size-fecundity relationships explain the temperature-size rule in a pulmonate snail (Physa).

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2015

Arendt J

Abstract excerpt

Most ectotherms follow a pattern of size plasticity known as the temperature-size rule where individuals reared in cold environments are larger at maturation than those reared in warm environments. This pattern seems maladaptive because growth is slower in the cold so it takes longer to reach a l...
