Article Synopsis
- Studies on functional performance highlight the impact of morphological trait variation on locomotion costs and life history traits, influencing ecological and evolutionary outcomes.
- This research focuses on the wing morphology of Seba's short-tailed bat (Carollia perspicillata) and its correlation with flight performance, particularly regarding energy expenditure during flight.
- The findings reveal that wing traits account for 7-10% of the energetic cost of flight and indicate sexual dimorphism, suggesting that female bats have wing structures that favor energy efficiency at the cost of maneuverability, affecting their habitat preferences.
