Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gloger's rule states that within the same species of endotherms (warm-blooded animals like mammals and birds), more heavily pigmented forms tend to be found in more humid environments, such as near the equator, while lighter forms are found in less humid environments, further from the equator. This rule is thought to relate to the advantages of darker pigmentation in protecting against UV radiation and in camouflage in denser, more vegetated environments.
