Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Sunday, 14 February 2021 is Thorson's rule.
Thorson's rule (named after Gunnar Thorson by S. A. Mileikovsky in 1971)
is an ecogeographical rule which states that benthic marine invertebrates at low latitudes tend to produce large numbers of eggs developing to pelagic (often planktotrophic [plankton-feeding]) and widely dispersing larvae, whereas at high latitudes such organisms tend to produce fewer and larger lecithotrophic (yolk-feeding) eggs and larger offspring, often by viviparity or ovoviviparity, which are often brooded.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:04 UTC on Sunday, 14 February 2021.
For the full current version of the article, see Thorson's rule on Wikipedia.
