An evolutionary ecomorphological perspective on the assembly of a Neotropical bat metacommunity

2022-11-28

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of bat skull has been extensively studied at a broad scale. However, we know little about how phenotypes that evolved in response to selective pressure elsewhere interact with ecological pressures to determine species co-ocurrence in human-modified landscapes. Here, we test the influence of size, diet, and foraging strategy on the skull and jaw shape of 32 co-occurring bat species in an agroecologica...
