Predicting climate change impacts on animal communities requires knowledge of how
physiological effects are mediated by ecological interactions. Food‐dependent growth and …

Global warming impacts virtually all biota and ecosystems. Many of these impacts are
mediated through direct effects of temperature on individual vital rates. Yet how this …

Most organisms exhibit a substantial size variation among individuals due to individual
