The applicability of macroecological rules to patterns in body size varies between taxa. One of the most examined is Bergmann's rule, which states that body size increases with decreasing temperature and increasing latitude, although the rule is not universal and the proposed mechanisms underpi...

We studied patterns in body size, temperature and latitude across a 12° latitudinal gradient within the Scotia-Weddell sector.

The applicability of macroecological rules to patterns in body size varies between taxa. One of the most examined is Bergmann's rule, which states that body size increases with decreasing temperature and increasing latitude, although the rule is not universal and the proposed mechanisms underpinning it are multifarious and lack congruence. This study considers the degree to which Bergmann's rule applies to the Southern Ocean mesopelagic fish community.
