Fecundity selection predicts Bergmann's rule in syngnathid fishes.

Molecular ecology - 1 Mar 2009

Wilson Anthony B

Abstract excerpt

The study of latitudinal increases in organismal body size (Bergmann's rule) predates even Darwin's evolutionary theory. While research has long concentrated on identifying general evolutionary explanations for this phenomenon, recent work suggests that different factors operating on local evolutionary timescales may be the cause of this widespread trend. Bergmann's rule explains body size variation in a...
