DOI: 10.1080/02724634.2017.1239626
Abstract: ABSTRACT Estimating the size of fossil organisms is essential for most paleontological studies, including studies of fossil squamates. Paradoxically, few works about the methods used to achieve this goal have been published. This study focuses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvac032
Abstract: Abstract Many insects have been studied over wide geographical areas to determine whether they follow Bergmann's Rule, which predicts that animal clades or populations should have smaller body sizes in warmer climates. While this ecogeographic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/hp.0000000000001672
Abstract: Abstract In a recent study, a comprehensive library composed of 212 phantoms with different body sizes was established by deforming the adult male and female mesh-type reference computational phantoms (MRCPs) of ICRP Publication 145 and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/geb.13389
Abstract: Handling Editor: Angelica Gonzalez Abstract Aim: Interspecific variation among metazoans often follows a latitudinal pattern, with species at higher latitudes being larger bodied than related species from lower latitudes (Bergmann's rule). For parasitic species, body… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/bio.047084
Abstract: ABSTRACT The ability of polyols to disrupt holometabolous insect development has not been studied and identifying compounds in food that affect insect development can further our understanding of the pathways that connect growth rate, developmental… read more here.
