Exoclinal

/ˌɛksoʊˈklaɪnəl/ adjective

Definition

In ecology, describing a gradual change in organisms or populations across geographic space due to environmental factors rather than genetic isolation.

Etymology

From 'exo-' (outside) and 'cline,' derived from Greek 'klinein' meaning 'to slope or incline,' combining to describe environmental gradients that cause variation across populations.

Kelly Says

Exoclinal variation explains why bird species in northern climates are often larger than southern relatives—it's all environmental pressure, not genetic separation, so they could interbreed if they met.
