Abstract: 
Large-scale patterns of body size variation are described by well-known generalizations such as Bergmann's rule; the generality and underlying causes of these patterns have been much debated. Intraspecific extension of this rule was tested in various ectotherms, and evidence was found for both Bergmann and converse Bergmann clines. In this study, we explored spatial patterns of variation in a wide...
