Rapid growth reduces cold resistance: evidence from latitudinal variation in growth rate, cold resistance and stress proteins.
Physiological costs of rapid growth may contribute to the observation that organisms typically grow at submaximal rates. Although, it has been hypothesized that faster growing individuals would do worse in dealing with suboptimal temperatures, this type of cost has never been explored empirically. F...
