Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is more commonly used in marketing research because small sample sizes can be used. The main advantage that the rule of thumb often to determine size, but results may underpowered. Therefore, appropriate size still required reach acquired power 0.80, which should adequate avoid false positive and adverse effects arising from are too la...

Temperature is a key factor that affects the rates of growth and development in animals, which ultimately determine body size. Although not universal, a widely documented and poorly understood pattern is the inverse relationship between the temperature at which an ectothermic animal is reared and its body size (temperature size rule [TSR]). The proximate and ultimate mechanisms for the TSR rema...

Most ectotherms show an inverse relationship between developmental temperature and body size, a phenomenon known as the temperature-size rule (TSR). Several competing hypotheses have been proposed to explain its occurrence. According to one set of views, the TSR results from inevitable biophysical effects of temperature on the rates of growth and differentiation, whereas other views suggest the...
