Thermodynamics Constrains Allometric Scaling of Optimal Development Time in Insects
Development time is a critical life-history trait that has profound effects on organism fitness and on population growth rates. For ectotherms, development time is strongly influenced by temperature and is predicted to scale with body mass to the quarter power based on 1) the ontogenetic growth mode...
