Food resources and competition rather than eco-geographic rules explain trait variations in two contrasting rat species: Implications for future climate change

Understanding how morphological traits are influenced by temperature, resource availability and competition is critical for predicting future ecosystem resilience to climate change. Here we tested the effects of biotic and abiotic factors, on the morphology of two contrasting Muridae species (Chines...
