Evolutionary patterns and processes in the radiation of phyllostomid bats.

BMC evolutionary biology - 23 May 2011

Monteiro Leandro R, Nogueira Marcelo R

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The phyllostomid bats present the most extensive ecological and phenotypic radiation known among mammal families. This group is an important model system for studies of cranial ecomorphology and functional optimisation because of the constraints imposed by the requirements of flight. A number of studies supporting phyllostomid adaptation have focused on qualitative descriptions or correlating...
