Simulation of Rapoport's rule for latitudinal species spread.

Theory in biosciences = Theorie in den Biowissenschaften - 1 Aug 2006

Stauffer Dietrich, Rohde Klaus

Abstract excerpt

Rapoport's rule claims that latitudinal ranges of plant and animal species are generally smaller at low than at high latitudes. However, doubts as to the generality of the rule have been expressed, because studies providing evidence against the rule are more numerous than those in support of it. In groups for which support has been provided, the trend of increasing latitudinal ranges with latitude is restricted...
