Global patterns of functional trait variation along aridity gradients in bats

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 30, Issue 5, Page 1014-1029, May 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim Our understanding of the biological strategies employed by species to cope with challenges posed by aridity is still limited. Despite being sensitive to water loss, bats successfully inhabit a wide range of arid lands. We here investigated how functional traits of bat assemblages vary along the global aridity gradient to identify traits ...
