Age and body size of Rana amurensis from northeastern China
Current Zoology, 2011 Age and body size are two important demographic traits that determine the life history strategies of populations and species. We measured these two parameters of Rana amurensis, at a 900 m and a 500 m altitude site in northeastern China. At the two sites,

Heat tolerance in ectotherms scales predictably with body size
Nature Climate Change, 2020 Recent studies suggest that animals are decreasing in size as a general response to global warming, for reasons that remain unclear. Here, by analysing ectotherm death time curves that take into consideration the intensity and duration of a thermal ...

Recent declines in salmon body size impact ecosystems and fisheries
Nature Communications, 2020 Declines in animal body sizes are widely reported and likely impact ecological interactions and ecosystem services. For harvested species subject to multiple stressors, limited understanding of the causes and consequences of size declines impedes ...

Welcome to Wonderland : the influence of the size and shape of a virtual hand on the perceived size and shape of virtual objects [PDF]
, 2013 The notion of body-based scaling suggests that our body and its action capabilities are used to scale the spatial layout of the environment. Here we present four studies supporting this perspective by showing that the hand acts as a metric which ...
