The 15 pages that link to Bergmann's rule, each with the reason it gives.

• AllometryRelated: Body-size variation across climates can alter proportions and heat balance.

• Deep-sea gigantismRelated: It offers a temperature-based comparison, though deep-sea gigantism does not follow the rule uniformly.

• EndothermyRelated: Larger bodies lose heat more slowly, influencing endotherm body-size patterns.

• Arctic foxRelated: The fox's compact body helps reduce heat loss in its cold habitat.

• Body sizeRelated: It connects body size with heat conservation across geographic climates.

• Island gigantismCompared with: Climate-related size variation offers a different explanation for large bodies than island ecology.

• Island ruleCompared with: It links body size to environment too, but across climate rather than island isolation.

• Woolly mammothRelated: A large body helped reduce relative heat loss in cold conditions.

• GigantismRelated: It links body size to temperature, though it does not explain every case of gigantism.

• Body massRelated: Mass records help test whether geographic body-size patterns fit this ecogeographic rule.

• Sexual size dimorphismCompared with: It concerns size variation with climate, not differences between sexes.

• GigantothermyRelated: It links body size and heat conservation, though its usual scope differs from gigantothermy.

• EndothermRelated: Body size can affect heat loss relative to heat production across climates.

• Wing-propelled divingRelated: Body size and heat retention shape the costs and capabilities of cold-water diving birds.

• Viviparous lizardRelated: Its body-size variation can be examined against broad climatic patterns in ectotherms.
