Cranial morphology in flying squirrels: diet, shape, and size disparity across tropical and temperate biomes
Abstract Background Species richness increases gradually as latitude decreases, however, the explanation for this phenomenon remains unclear. Ecological hypotheses suggest that greater niche diversity in tropical biomes may facilitate the coexistence of a larger number of species. The close relation...
