Description
Aim: To evaluate
(1) whether three migratory nightjar species (Family Caprimulgidae) adhere to Bergmann's rule,
(2) whether environmental factors on the breeding or wintering grounds determine body size, and
(3) which mechanistic hypotheses best explain Bergmannian patterns in body size.
Location: North and South America; Europe, and Africa.
Taxon: Eastern whip‐poor‐will (Antrostomus vociferus), Common nighthawk (Chordeiles minor), and European nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus).
Dryad version number: 5
