Adaptation Along Environmental Gradients: an Evaluation of Physiological Mechanisms and Ecological Constraints
For ectotherms living in seasonal environments, time available for development and growth is often constrained by the length of the growth season. Declining season length towards higher latitudes often select for latitudinal clines in development and growth rates, exhibiting increasing growth and de...
