Food availability modulates temperature‐dependent effects on growth, reproduction, and survival in Daphnia magna
Abstract Reduced body size and accelerated life cycle due to warming are considered major ecological responses to climate change with fitness costs at the individual level. Surprisingly, we know little about how relevant ecological factors can alter these life history trade‐offs and their consequenc...
