Quantitative mismatch between empirical temperature-size rule slopes and predictions based on oxygen limitation

In ectotherms, adult body size commonly declines with increasing environmental temperature, a pattern known as the temperature-size rule. One influential hypothesis explaining this observation is that the challenge of obtaining sufficient oxygen to support metabolism becomes greater with increasing...
