Fig. 38 in Systematics Of Funnel-Eared Bats (Chiroptera: Natalidae)

Fig. 38. Plot of wing-tip shape index vs. relative size of the uropatagium in 11 species of Natalidae. Five different ecomorphs are formed by the intersection of these two indices. The genus Natalus is the most diverse in flight morphology, with most species clustering in the intermediate wing tip and large uropatagium ecomorph and two outliers: (1) Natalus primus, which clusters with two species of Chilonatalus, and (2) Natalus lanatus, whose broad wing tip is unique among natalids.
