Thorson's rule (Ecogeographic rules 🌍)
Thorson's rule is an ecogeographical rule which states that benthic marine invertebrates at low latitudes tend to produce large numbers of eggs developing to pelagic ) and widely dispersing larvae, whereas at high latitudes such organisms tend to produce fewer and larger lecithotrophic eggs and larger offspring, often by viviparity or ovoviviparity, which are often brooded.
