Özet
Environmental variation in phenotypic traits offers key insights into how organisms adapt to diverse environmental conditions. In this study, we studied how diverse environmental conditions shape environmental variation in the bioclimatic niche, hibernation patterns, and body size of Anatolian ground squirrels (Spermophilus xanthoprymnus). Specifically, we used presence data from across the species' range, body temperature data from 51 free-living individuals in two natural populations located 880 km apart, and body size data from 167 individuals across 10 populations to explore environmental variation in bioclimatic niche, hibernation patterns, and body size across elevational and associated climatic gradients. Our results indicate that the bioclimatic niches of two deeply divergent mitochondrial (mt)DNA lineages (i.e., the western and eastern lineages) are not equivalent. However, this pattern appears to result ...
