Bergmann's rule is followed at multiple stages of postembryonic development in a long‐distance migratory songbird

Abstract Bergmann’s rule is a well‐established, ecogeographical principle that states that body size varies positively with latitude, reflecting the thermoregulatory benefits of larger bodies as temperatures decline. However, this principle does not seem to easily apply to migratory species that are...
