Redefining the study of sexual dimorphism in bats: following the odour trailPalabras clave

Mariana Munoz-Romo et al.

Summary: Sexual dimorphism is a phenomenon where males and females of the same species can be easily distinguished by specific traits, such as body size and ornamentation. Bats, previously considered non-sexually dimorphic, exhibit a diverse range of integumentary glands and odor-producing structures which play a role in mate selection. These features are found in various regions of the bat's body, with the head and ventral region of the neck being the most common locations.
