Influence of photoperiod on thermal responses in body size, growth and development in Lycaena phlaeas (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)
Many ectotherms species grow faster but attain a smaller body size when reared under warmer conditions, a phenomenon known as the Temperature-Size Rule (TSR). This rule appears to be stronger in aquatic ectotherms than in terrestrial ectotherms. The difference could be related to difficulties for ox...
