A Morphometric analysis of long-tongued nectar bat (pteropodidae : Macroglossus minimus) in Sabah and Sarawak

A study on the morphometric variations of Macroglossus minimus was carried out to analyse the morphological variation among four populations from Sabah and Sarawak and also to determine the best character that differentiate this species between populations. M. minimus were morphologically analysed w...
