主 题：Bergmann’s rule fleas geographic range latitude sexual dimorphism
摘 要：We tested for the effects of latitude and geographic range size(GRS)on body size,leg length,and sexual size dimorphism(SSD)across 103 species offleas,taking into account phylogenetic between-species *** the data on body size were combined for males and females,the positive correlation between body size and latitude,but not GRS,was *** the analysis was restricted to one sex only,the effect of latitude appeared to be non-significant for females,whereas male body size increased with an increase in ***fic body size variation was not associated with either the latitude or the latitudinal span of the geographic range,independently of which data subset was *** evidence of association between size-independent tibia length and latitude was found for either females,males,or both sexes *** degree of SSD decreased with a decrease in latitude but was not affected by *** conclude that macroecological patterns might be manifested differently in males and *** should be kept in mind while searching for these patterns.
