About This Book

The article reports new locality records and morphological data for several neotropical frugivorous bat species from western Mexico, extending known northern ranges; it presents specimen-based measurements, cranial and dental variation, pelage coloration and dichromatism, and reproductive observations including embryo sizes and presence or absence of molars. Detailed locality coordinates, specimen catalogues, and collection methods (skins, skulls, skeletons, mist nets) support assessments of geographic distribution and intraspecific variation. Additional records for other genera extend their regional limits. The paper interprets morphological differences among closely related taxa and provides comparative metrics to clarify identification and range boundaries.

About the Author

Sydney Anderson

Sydney Anderson was a notable biologist and researcher specializing in mammalogy, particularly in the study of bats and rodents. His work contributed significantly to the understanding of various species within these groups, with a focus on their subspeciation and ecological ranges. Among his key publications are "Extensions of Known Ranges of Mexican Bats" and "Mammals of Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado," which reflect his dedication to documenting and analyzing mammalian diversity in North America. Anderson's research has been influential in the fields of wildlife biology and conservation, providing valuable insights into the habitats and behaviors of lesser-known species.
