Bat New Species Molecular and Morphological Data Mexico 2024 by Gerardo Aymard is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study identifies a potential new species of big-eared bat, Corynorhinus mexicanus, endemic to northeastern Mexico, based on molecular and morphological data. Phylogenetic and population genetics analyses reveal that C. mexicanus is polyphyletic, consisting of three distinct lineages with significant genetic divergence. The findings suggest that the isolated SMO lineage exhibits unique morphological traits, indicating the presence of an undescribed species within the genus Corynorhinus.
