Body size variation in insects: a macroecological perspective
Tóm tắt
Body size is a key feature of organisms and varies continuously because of the effects of natural selection on the size‐dependency of resource acquisition and mortality rates. This review provides a critical and synthetic overview of body size variation in insects from a predominantly macroecological (large‐scale temporal and spatial) perspective. Because of the importance of understanding the proximate determinants of adult size, it commences with a brief summary of the physiological mechanisms underlying adult body size and its variation, based mostly on findings for the model species
