Revision as of 15:30, 6 May 2012 by 212.10.82.15 (talk) (see its page; Gloger's R. is as much about humidity as temperature (though the two are closely connected, of course))
Biological rules | |
|---|---|
| Cope's rule | Organisms within a population get larger over time |
| Bergmann's rule | Populations have larger bodies in colder climates |
| Allen's rule | Populations have shorter appendages in colder climates |
| Gloger's rule | Populations have lighter colouration in colder, drier climates |
| Rensch's rule | Size dimorphism will increase with increasing body size when the male is the larger sex, and decrease with increasing average body size when the female is the larger sex |
