Evaluating Bergmann's and Allen's rules in the long bones of the eastern gray squirrel
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Ecogeographical rules predict variation in body size and appendage proportions across climatic gradients, yet intraspecific tests using long bones from wild populations remain limited among small mammals. This study tests the hypothesis that eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) conform to Bergmann's rule, that is, body size increases ...
