“…Our univariate regression analyses further supported these relationships. These findings are consistent with most predictions of Gloger's rule that have been observed in mammals, including carnivores (da Silva et al, 2016;Caro et al, 2017), artiodactyls (Stoner et al, 2003b), Palearctic shrews (Stanchak and Santana, 2019), primates (Kamilar and Bradley, 2011;Santana et al, 2012), rodents (Lai et al, 2008), and marsupials (Nigenda-Morales et al, 2018;Cerezer et al, 2020). These empirical studies have commonly used temperature, precipitation, latitude, and vegetation to explain patterns of color variation that are associated with climatic factors or surrogates of those factors.…”
