A morpholigical and molecular phylogenetic analysis of Malaysian kerivoula (Chiroptera : Vespertilionidae)

Morphometric and phylogenetic analyses were done on six species of Kerivoula from Malaysia. Morphological studies could only be done on five out of the six kerivoula species available for this research, namely K. papillosa, K. Lenis, K. pellucid, K. hardwickii and K. minuta. Thirty-one characters...
