Do bigger bodies require bigger radiators? Insights into thermal ecology from closely related marine mammal species and implications for ecogeographic rules

Aim The aim of this study was to determine if marine mammals follow ecogeographic rules. We examined Bergmann's rule and Allen's rule in two pilot whale species with contrasting latitudinal distributions. Location Northwest Atlantic Ocean. Taxon Globicephala spp. Methods We analysed morphometric data collected from strandings of short‐ and long‐finned pilot whales in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean to assess intraspecific and interspecific...
