Dwarfism and gigantism drive human-mediated extinctions on islands
Islands have long been recognized as distinctive evolutionary arenas leading to
morphologically divergent species, such as dwarfs and giants. We assessed how body size …

Sexual dimorphism in the pelvis of Antillean fruit-eating bat (Brachyphylla cavernarum) and its application to a fossil accumulation from the Lesser Antilles
The pelvis of the Antillean fruit-eating bat (Brachyphylla cavernarum) displays strong sexual
dimorphism. Here, we describe osteological criteria for determining the sex of this bat …
