Sexual dimorphism and geographic variation of the skull of the fishing bat Noctilio leporinus (Chiroptera: Noctilionidae) in Mexico

The fishing bat Noctilio leporinus Linnaeus, 1758, represents a complex of subspecies with a discontinuous lowland distribution in Central, South America and the Caribbean. Although Mexican populations are currently included in the subspecies N. l. mastivus, the morphological variation in these gro...
