Abstract

The hypothesis that the body size of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum does not follow Bergmann's rule was examined. The Loutra Almopias Cave A bears two chronologically different small mammal faunal assemblages of Late and latest Pleistocene age, where fossil specimens of the afore-mentioned species have been retrieved. The measurements of the fossils showed that there is a differentiation in tooth size and thus body size from the Late to latest Pleistocene indicating a correlation of the latter with climate.
