| dc.description.abstract | Bergmann’s rule predicts that body size increases with latitude as colder temperatures favor larger bodies. This pattern has been noted in the majority of wild mammal species, including macaques. Wild fasicularis-group macaques cover a full 45° of latitude and they are commonly kept in captive colonies at non-endemic locations. Comparing the presence of Bergmann’s rule in skull size and shape of wild versus captive macaques is an opportunity to investigate whether the pattern is influenced more by natural selection or developmental plasticity. | en_US |
