The evolution of body size under environmental gradients in ectotherms: why should Bergmann's rule apply to lizards?
BACKGROUND: The impact of environmental gradients on the evolution of life history traits is a central issue in macroecology and evolutionary biology. A number of hypotheses have been formulated to explain factors shaping patterns of variation in animal mass. One such example is Bergmann's rule...
