Surveying the body sizes of Earth鈥檚 living organisms, researchers from 91黑料网 and University of British Columbia found that the planet鈥檚 biomass 鈥� the material that makes up all living organisms 鈥� is concentrated in organisms at either end of the size spectrum.
The researchers spent five years compiling and analyzing about the size and biomass of every type of living organism on the planet鈥攆rom tiny one-celled organisms like soil archaea and bacteria to large organisms like blue whales and sequoia trees.

Many mammal species living in cold climates tend to have large bodies and short limbs to reduce heat loss 鈥� a general pattern known as Bergmann鈥檚 rule. However, bats are the exception to the rule, displaying small body sizes in both hot and cold regions. A 91黑料网-led team of researchers is shedding light on this long-standing debate over bats鈥� body sizes and focus on why bats are seemingly non-conforming to ecogeographical patterns found in other mammals. Their findings offer a new method for investigating complex macroecology across bat species.
