- Abstract
The article discusses research on the patterns of morphological and genetic variation in Mormopterus jugularis, a species of Malagasy Molossidae found in Madagascar. According to the study of a number of Mormopterus jugularies living in different bioclimatic regions of Madagascar, sexual dimorphism takes place and females are smaller in size than males. The study also found that there were no morphological variation found in animals living in different parts of the island and different bioclimatic zones.
