Spatial patterns in the size of Chinese lizards are driven by multiple factors
Abstract Background For almost two centuries, ecologists have examined geographical patterns in the evolution of body size and the associated determinants. During that time, one of the most common patterns to have emerged is the increase in body size with increasing latitude (referred to as Bergmann...
