The evolution of large-scale body size clines in Plethodon salamanders: evidence of heat-balance or species-specific artifact?
2011
Ecography
A major goal in macroecology is to determine how body size varies geographically, and explain why such patterns exist. Recently, a grid-cell assemblage analysis found significant body size trends with latitude and temperature in Plethodon salamanders, and support for the heat-balance hypothesis as a possible explanation for these trends. Here we demonstrate that the heat-balance hypothesis is unlikely to have generated this pattern, and that there is no overall body size trend with temperature
