Temperature‐dependent scaling of fitness traits with body size in hydra

Jácint Tökölyi

Abstract: Body size strongly depends on developmental temperature. In more than 80% of the ectotherm species investigated, including bacteria, protists, invertebrates and vertebrates, individuals developing at lower temperatures exhibit protracted growth and achieve larger sizes than individuals developing at higher temperatures (referred to as the ‘temperature‐size rule’, TSR). One hypothesis to explain the TSR posits that reproduction and/or survival change more steeply with size in cold environments, resulting in lar… Show more

“…obs. ; see also Tökölyi, 2023 for a description of H. oligactis life cycle). H. oligactis is a psychrophilic species, i.e., it prefers colder temperatures and is able to survive and reproduce at temperatures close to freezing point, while temperatures above ~25°C are stressful to them ( Bosch et al, 1988 ).…”

“…Next, aliquots from this water were either autoclaved or run through a 0.22 μm PES membrane filter (FilterBio ® , Nantong, P. R. C.) as an alternative method to remove bacteria from lake water. Finally, artificial hydra medium ( Tökölyi, 2023 ) filtered with a 0.22 μm PES membrane filter was used as a fourth experimental group, as a control to study hydra population dynamics in an environment that is devoid of bacteria and bacterial nutrients.…”
