Were dinosaurs ectotherms or fast-metabolizing endotherms whose activities were
unconstrained by temperature? To date, some of the strongest evidence for endothermy …

The body growth rate in small reptiles is modulated by per-capita food resources and recent
evidences suggested that this constraint is the mechanism underlying differences between …

The Northern Pacific Rattlesnake (Crotalus o. oreganus) is restricted in its occurrence in
Canada to British Columbia (BC) and is listed nationally as a Species-at-risk, yet there is a …

Modeling somatic growth of animals whose growth rates are seasonally variable is a
challenge. Seasonal variation in growth reduces model fit and precision if not accounted for …

Increasing rates of invasion have led to shifts in dominance, and even replacement, of
nonindigenous species. Shifts in invader dominance from the Zebra Mussel (Dreissena …

In many species with continuous growth, body size is an important driver of life-history tactics
and its relative importance is thought to reflect the spatio-temporal variability of selective …

Resource subsidies can have profound effects on animal behavior, reproduction, and
growth. Resource subsidies often result from human-altered environments that augment …

Body size can influence nearly every aspect of an organism's biology and ecology, and
drivers of intraspecific variation in ectotherm body size are often poorly understood. We …

El modelado demográfico en los estudios ecológicos es una herramienta de importancia
para conocer la dinámica poblacional y el estado de conservación de las poblaciones …

Rates of biological invasion of aquatic ecosystems are increasing worldwide, which has led
to shifts in dominance, and even replacement, of established nonindigenous species. Such …
