Domain-specific¶
- Gloger's Rule
- Gloger's Rule belongs to a named family of biogeographic rules — alongside Bergmann's rule (body size increases with latitude in endotherms), Allen's rule (limb-to-body ratio decreases with latitude), and Rapoport's rule (geographic range size increases with latitude) — that collectively describe systematic morphological covariation with environmental gradients and generate testable predictions for newly studied taxa and ranges.
This sourceSynthesis treating 'ecogeographical rules' as spatial patterns in biological traits and setting out the elements of a unified account, including the linking role of geographical ranges.

“Here we propose some key elements of such a synthesis for what can broadly be termed ‘ecogeographical rules’, that is spatial patterns in biological traits.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
