    • Bergmann patterns in planktivorous fishes: A light-size or zooplankton community-size rule is just as valid explanation as the temperature-size rule 

      Ljungström, Anna Jeja Gabriella; Langbehn, Tom; Jørgensen, Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Aim Bergman patterns, the tendency of organisms to be larger at higher latitudes and lower temperatures, are a well-studied biogeographic pattern. Yet, there is no consensus on the driver or underlying mechanisms. We ...
