Body size

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Larval mannitol diets increase mortality, prolong development and decrease adult body sizes in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster)
    Meghan Barrett, Katherine Fiocca, Edward A. Waddell, Cheyenne McNair, Sean O'Donnell, Daniel R. Marenda
    Biology Open 2019 8: bio047084 doi: 10.1242/bio.047084 Published 2 January 2020

    Summary: Mannitol, a sugar polyol, decreases body size and survival and prolongs development in larval Drosophila melanogaster. The timing of introduction during development affects the magnitude of mannitol's impact on larvae.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Concerted evolution of body mass and cell size: similar patterns among species of birds (Galliformes) and mammals (Rodentia)
    Marcin Czarnoleski, Anna Maria Labecka, Dominika Dragosz-Kluska, Tomasz Pis, Katarzyna Pawlik, Filip Kapustka, Wincenty M. Kilarski, Jan Kozłowski
    Biology Open 2018 7: bio029603 doi: 10.1242/bio.029603 Published 9 April 2018

    Summary: In Galliformes birds and Rodentia mammals, larger species evolved larger cells of different cell types; in Galliformes birds, large-cell species evolved lower metabolic rates per unit mass.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Body-enlarging effect of royal jelly in a non-holometabolous insect species, Gryllus bimaculatus
    Atsushi Miyashita, Hayato Kizaki, Kazuhisa Sekimizu, Chikara Kaito
    Biology Open 2016 5: 770-776; doi: 10.1242/bio.019190

    Summary: Orally administered royal jelly enlarges non-holometabolous cricket body size, suggesting its conserved effect on body size in insect phyla. This finding contributes to the understanding of regulatory mechanisms on body size.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Incubation temperature, morphology and performance in loggerhead (Caretta caretta) turtle hatchlings from Mon Repos, Queensland, Australia
    Elizabeth L. Sim, David T. Booth, Colin J. Limpus
    Biology Open 2015 4: 685-692; doi: 10.1242/bio.20148995
