Subterranean rodents of the genus Ctenomys (Caviomorpha, Ctenomyidae) follow the converse to Bergmann's rule (2007, methodology): “The primary productivity/ food-abundance hypothesis has also been applied to Palearctic Sorex shrews (Ochocinska & Taylor, 2003) and Phylloscopus leaf warblers (Katti & Price, 2003), which follow the converse to Bergmann’s rule.”
Bergmann's rule and the mammal fauna of northern North America (2004, background): “Freckleton et al. (2003) showed that the intra-specific pattern was stronger within large- than small-bodied mammal species (see also Ashton et al. 2000, Meiri and Dayan 2003, Ochocinska and Taylor 2003); we perform the parallel test for the interspecific pattern.”
Global warming, Bergmann's rule and body size in the masked shrew Sorex cinereus Kerr in Alaska (2005, background): “Juveniles attain almost adult size by the time they leave their nests at the age of about 3 weeks, and linear body dimensions of weaned shrews as well as skull size do not differ from those of adults (Pucek 1970; Ochocinska & Taylor 2003).”
