Bat Species Comparisons Based on External Morphology: A Test of Traditional versus Geometric Morphometric Approaches.
External morphology is commonly used to identify bats as well as to investigate flight and foraging behavior, typically relying on simple length and area measures or ratios. However, geometric morphometrics is increasingly used in the biological sciences to analyse variation in shape and discriminat...
