Title: | Bergmann's Rule is Size-Related in European Newts (Triturus) | Authors: | Krizmanić, Imre Vukov, Tanja Kalezić, Miloš |
Keywords: | Altitudinal gradient;Morphology;Triturus vulgaris;Triturus alpestris;Triturus carnifex. | Issue Date: | Jul-2005 | Rank: | M23 | Project: | “Integrative study of amphibians and reptiles of the Central Balkans”, No. 1623 | Journal: | Herpetological Journal | Volume: | 15 | Issue: | 3 | Start page: | 205 | End page: | 206 | Abstract: | The validity of Bergmann's rule - which describes the intraspecific increase in body size with increasing altitude - was studied in a several populations of three European newt species. There was a positive correlation between body size and altitude for smaller-bodied Triturus vulgaris and T. alpestris species, but no relationship between body size and altitude for the much larger sized T. carnifex. Body size therefore plays a role in the application of Bergmann's rule to European newts. |
