美国休斯顿大学的研究人员解开了一个长达163年之久的谜:他们将生态学理念融入到对“为何越冷动物越大”的解释中。这是对贝格曼规律的新解释,即高纬度地区动物体积大于同经度接近于赤道的动物。 Researchers at the University of Houston have unraveled a 163-year-old mystery: they have integrated the idea of ​​ecology into the explanation of why “the colder the animals are.” This is a new interpretation of Bergman’s law that animals in high latitudes are larger than animals whose longitude is close to the equator.
