The Bergmannsche Regel Definition explains how animal body size relates to temperature regulation in different climates, demonstrated through a practical experiment using round-bottom flasks.
Key points:
- The experiment uses four different sized flasks (100ml to 1000ml) to model heat retention
- Larger volumes demonstrate better heat retention, similar to how larger animals maintain body temperature
- Surface area to volume ratio decreases as size increases, explaining the Bergmannsche Regel Beispiel with penguins
- Mathematical calculations show surface area grows in square while volume grows in cube, affecting heat retention
