Allen's rule states that animals in warmer climates have longer limbs to dissipate heat more efficiently, Bergmann's rule states that animals in colder climates have larger body size to conserve heat, and Gloger's rule states that animals in more humid and forested areas have darker skin or fur for better camouflage. Therefore, if we apply all three rules, we would expect populations living near the equator to have longer limbs, weigh less (because larger body size would be a disadvantage in hot climates), and be more heavily pigmented for better camouflage in forested areas.
