The effects of environmental warming on Odonata: a review (2008, methodology): “This study suggested a U-shaped relationship across the full extent of the geographical range, which has been tentatively explained using Bergmann and counter-Bergmann clines (Blanckenhorn & Demont 2004).”
Exploring plastic and genetic responses to temperature variation using copper butterflies (2010, background): “…found here highlights the notion that associations between body size and environmental (temperature) variation are more complex than previously thought, and may range from positive to negative (Chown & Klok 2003, Blanckenhorn & Demont 2004, Iraeta et al. 2006, Cvetkoviç et al. 2009).”
Species persistence in northerly glacial refugia of Europe: a matter of chance or biogeographical traits? (2008, background): “However, the literature also suggests many examples where Bergmann’s rule does not apply (e.g. Ashton & Feldman, 2003; Meiri & Dayan, 2003; Blanckenhorn & Demont, 2004).”
Size, temperature, and fitness: Three rules (2008, background): “Bergmann’s rule has been described in both endotherms and ectotherms, but its generality in ectotherms is unclear (Partridge and Coyne, 1997; Ashton and Feldman, 2003; Blanckenhorn and Demont, 2004; Blanckenhorn et al. , 2006) .”
Geographic variation in body size, sexual size dimorphism and fitness components of a seed beetle: local adaptation versus phenotypic plasticity (2009, neutral): “For example, animals often show clines in body size and egg size (Chown and Klok 2003, Ashton 2004, Blanckenhorn and Demont 2004, Karl et al. 2008) that persist after rearing in a common garden experiment (Partridge and Coyne 1997, Gilchrist and Partridge 1999, Armbruster et al. 2001), indicating…”
Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, background): “Blanckenhorn and Demont (2004) describe and synthesize additional evidence for clear Bergmann and inverse Bergmann patterns in arthropods.”
Body size variation in insects: a macroecological perspective (2010, background): “How these interactions might play out in insects is only beginning to be explored (Chown & Gaston, 1999; Blanckenhorn & Demont, 2004; Chown et al., 2007).”
Subterranean rodents of the genus Ctenomys (Caviomorpha, Ctenomyidae) follow the converse to Bergmann's rule (2007, background): “Intraspecific Bergmannian trends also occur in vertebrate and invertebrate ectotherms (Ray, 1960; Atkinson, 1994; Atkinson & Sibly, 1997; Ashton, 2002a; Ashton & Feldman, 2003; Blanckenhorn & Demont, 2004; Bidau & Martı́, in press).”
Ecogeographical rules: elements of a synthesis (2008, background): “For example, ‘Bergmann’s rule’ has variously been tested using intraspecific (e.g. Ashton et al., 2000; Ashton, 2002; Ashton & Feldman, 2003; Blanckenhorn & Demont, 2004; Meiri et al., 2004a; Blanckenhorn et al., 2006), interspecific (Freckleton et al., 2003; Katti & Price, 2003; Cruz et al., 2005)…”
Energy and interspecific body size patterns of amphibian faunas in Europe and North America: anurans follow Bergmann's rule, urodeles its converse (2007, background): “…in ectotherms, both at the intraspecific (Mousseau, 1997; Ashton, 2002; Belk & Houston, 2002; Ashton & Feldman, 2003; Angilletta et al ., 2004; Blanckenhorn & Demont, 2004) and interspecific © 2007 The Authors Global Ecology and Biogeography , 16 , 606–617, Journal compilation © 2007…”
The elements of seasonal adaptations in insects (2007, background): “(except near the end of the season) in the same way as univoltine ones (Blanckenhorn and Demont 2004).”
