A Morphometric Analysis Of Genus Tylonycteris (Bamboo Bat) In Selected Localities In Malaysia
The morphological study was performed on 42 individuals of bamboo bat (Genus Tylonycteris). This study was carried out to determine any morphological variation within species of different localities and to identify the characters that are useful for species identification of species in this genus.
