The number of species that exhibit small body size generally far exceed the number of species that are large-bodied. Macroecology has long sought to understand the mechanisms that underlie the patterns of biodiversity, such as the body size-species richness pattern. This pattern was first observed by Hutchinson and MacArthur (1959), and it appears to apply equally well to
