Geographic variation in Pipistrellus hesperus
Findley JS and Traut GL. 1970. Geographic variation in Pipistrellus hesperus. Journal of Mammalogy. 51(4):741-765
Geographic variation in Pipistrellus hesperus consists of an eastern series of populations of large individuals and a western series of populations of small individuals, this situation perhaps resulting from historical changes in the distribution of deserts. Other facets of geographic variation involving color, sexual dimorphism, and variability are discussed in relation to climate, rainfall, and sexual differences in behavior.
